Thank you.

By following this link, you are already a special person - one who is interested in helping keep these resources both on the air and free of annoying commercial ads and popup windows.

It costs money - not a huge amount, but enough - to keep the domain in place, to host these pages - and a whole lot of time to keep the pages up-to-date. If every band or orchestra that is on the rolls, or every c-m member, could find it in their hearts to contribute just $1, c-m would be paid for for at least the next five years. I have paid these fees out of my own pocket since 1995. If you are so inclined, there's now an easy way (actually two) that you can help - as people have since 2002.

I have set up accounts with both PayPal and via the Amazon Honor System, by which you can make secure donations towards the cost of providing these services. Whichever way is best for you is OK by me. PayPal's fees are a little less than Amazon's. You can make donations anonymously on Amazon - don't think that is possible on Paypal. Any donation - $1 or up - will be greatly appreciated!

(04 Sep 05) Your generosity continues to overwhelm me. Thanks to a very generous donation from the Association of Concert Bands, I don't need any further donations, and probably won't for the forseeable future. Thanks to all who have contributed - you're great!

  • To donate via the AMAZON HONOR SYSTEM, CLICK HERE.
  • To donate via PAYPAL, CLICK HERE, then select "SEND MONEY" and use "rboerger at io.com" as the recipient. Change " at " to "@"; I've done this to reduce the amount of spam I get. And I get a LOT...

I apologize in advance if this seems greedy or avaricious to you. If you feel at all uncomfortable about making a donation, be assured that you are under no compulsion to do so, and that these resources will stay up as long as possible.
