The above sentence appears on page nine of Finale Productivity, a book by Bill Duncan, explaining the use of his fonts and his approach to music notation and engraving. He has aimed his process and philosophies at those composers, arrangers and copyists who work in the Los Angeles studio and musical theater scene. This is where the music has to be sightread perfectly on the first time around. We are the "Sight reading capital of the world".

I can't tell you how often the above phrase enters into my life every day. Misunderstanding is running rampant in our everyday endeavors. I treasure this phrase as I treasure this dear man who has left us.

I know that a couple of you, Karen Guthrie and Chuck Israel, have had wonderful encounters with Bill. for me, his approach is flawless. Check out his beautiful chord symbols.

I know I am a better musician because of him.

With much love and appreciation for you all:

Bob Florence
