Good morning! Where do you get your sheet music? I love the arrangements. Thank you for using your gift.

Patricia, I’m largely working from memory-hymns I learned long ago-then adding some improvised parts to keep the rhythm going. I guess you’d say it’s my “arrangement,” but it’s not written out. Thanks for listening!
