THE TESTIMONIALS:

The following text is taken verbatim from a single enclosure of a song-poem solicitation mailing. The envelope is postmarked June 27, 1996, while the code "579" at the bottom of the testimonial page indicates that the same sheet has been in use for over 17 consecutive years. For privacy reasons, I have chosen to withhold the customers' names.

Thank you for the fine job you did with my "ELVIS" song. It's filled with all the love, warmth and sadness that I felt when writing the words.

It has been a real joy working with you and I like the honesty with which you treated every question that needed to be answered.

Sincerely yours,
New Jersey

The "Demo Record" of my song "Life Is A Ride On A Merry-Go-Round" is excellent, as were the others you have done for me. Thank you again, and my thanks to Mel Moore. I'm now looking forward to the next three you are working on for me.

Very Sincerely Yours,

I just received my record. I am very pleased with it as every verse has a special meaning. I think the music is fit for a king. The music has all the feeling that I was hoping it would have. Thank you, I think you are the best.

I have received my copy of my record, "GIVE THANKS AND PRAISES" and am quite satisfied.

I believe it is your generosity that has caused showers of blessings on you to make you the largest of your kind in the United States of America, and perhaps even the world.

A special thanks to those directly involved in the production of the records, Paul Ames and the others.

I received my records of my song a short time ago. I must sincerely congratulate you on a masterful job. I am pleased with the whole arrangement, records, vocalist and orchestra. I couldn't have done a better job myself. The record was played on WDAF and WHB radio stations and the both of them said the same -- they said that it had so many requests until it would be impossible to answer so many requests for one reason. I must say in closing, as one neighbor to another, you have done us proud.

Sincerely
Miss.
