"Laurence McKinney's rollicking couplets sketch in miniature all the major instruments of orchestra, and their players. The drawings of Gluyas Wiliams fit perfectly with the book's spirit of irreverent fun." - The Dallas Morning News
"McKinney has succeeded in humanizing the instruments of orchestra in a way that will appeal to young and old, regardless of their knowledge of music."- Sigmund Spaeth

As a popular and relatively inexpensive book, we are promoting People of Note as an ideal premium that can be offered by orchestras for those who sign up for subscriptions or make donations.
Other orchestras have their own websites that sell items of interest. When an orchestra buys a quantity of hardback copies for either purpose, we will add the name of that orchestra to the back of the book (see illustration). We will also list those orchestras which do either on this page to direct local audiences who are interested in supporting their local musical organizations.
