Orchestrations for Dionne Warwick

Hello all,

I am currently working on orchestrating a tune called Starlight, music by William Goldstein and lyrics by Dean Pitchford, for the Grammy award-winning Dionne Warwick to sing. The full press release can be found here http://www.starlight.org/uploadedFiles/Starlight/whatsnew/PressRelease_HQ_StarlightSong_10-20-09.pdf?n=5758

Website

So, I have finally gotten around to re-building my website. It is still, however, a work in progress. Well, I guess it has been for about the past 9 years or so.

Any suggestions for me about the site, anything I missed? Let me know what you think. I'm already thinking of all that I missed and getting new ideas......

Best,

Tim
