Matt,

Thanks for your kind comments -- glad you like the CD accompaniments and find them helpful. Like you, I had been playing those familiar Stamp lines for many years before collaborating with Tom Stevens on these play-alongs.

I'd worked on the studies with Roy Poper when he was at USC, so was indoctrinated in the proper performance of them at the keyboard, per Stamp's instructions.

I have since played them countless times while sitting at practice room pianos in dubious states of repair. With the CD accompaniments, I've been able to replace those pianos with an iPod that always plays in tune!

Best Regards,

-Tom
