I agree with you Greg.  Carmen Dragon's arrangements for orchestra were
among the very best.  As well crafted as Stanley Black's arrangements were,
I prefered Carmen Dragon.  They were unique. Carmen Dragon's arrangements
can be rented from:

Dragon Music Company
Kathy Henn - Librarian (Carmen's Daughter)
28908 Grayfox Street
Malibu, California 90265
	     U.S.A.

I hope this is helpful.
