Hey Mark,

I hope you are doing well in 2023...   

A group of us are having a brass quintet sight reading session next week (February 21).  I was looking for interesting pieces to try, and I happened across your quintet Business As Usual on IMSLP.   I'm wondering if individual parts are available.

Hey Ron,

Great to hear from you!  All's reasonably well -- hope same or better for you!

I have hard  copy of parts and would be interested in producing a new pdf version -- but it would take days...

Best,

Mark
