I think number 7 was done by Claudine Debussy, Claude's great grand daugther!

Hi, Everyone:

No, not good old Claudine Debussy -- although I think I dated her in high school back in 1973; have to check the yearbook on that! Let me introduce myself here. My name is Brian Sagraves from Lebanon, New Hampshire. I'm sorry to have be so mysterious about this, and I'll explain in a minute.

But first let me congratulate Roberto on a stellar win! Wonderful stuff! Indeed, all the other entries were superb!

Now here's a curious tale. Since I first purchased GPO and discovered this forum, I've never been able to post anything here because for several reasons the Forum disliked my computer. And for many months I have tried to figure out how to resolve this -- always coming up short. Until recently when my wife brought her laptop home from work, and BINGO! I was finally able to make the necessary connection. This week, however, my wife was out of town -- took her computer with her -- and I haven't be able to tell anyone that I was the composer of Entry #7.

So here I am, and able to thank all of you who cast a vote for my submission. It means a great deal to me -- I'm one of the amateurs here who likes to write for the fun of it.

Well, let's get on with the next challenge. I'm eager to see what we'll have to work with next time.

Sincerely,
Brian Sagraves

Brian, welcome to the forum and congratulations for your great entry. It was my favourite one (after mine

) and I was worrying about the author not showing up. Ok, now I'm gonna put together a theme for the next challenge...

So good to hear from you, Brian!

Simply fantastic entry you presented for this Challenge. It was mesmerizing.

And yet another one of my guesses is shot down---I was thinking it was possible that Roberto also did #7, and was just being coy about it!

I can relate to your problems getting on this Forum. It's especially difficult for some reason. I was briefly on when I first got GPO in 2005, but then suddenly couldn't log on. I went for a YEar being un-able to post!--That was cleared up, and now I've been on since November.

Congrats on getting on here, and thanks again for your wonderful music.

I'm also looking forward to Roberto's theme for Challenge #13--I'll be able to participate again!

Welcome to the forum Brian. Nice to see somebody else from NH here.

I really liked #7. No offence to Roberto (and the others) but I think #7 was my favorite. Can't wait to hear more of your music posted here.
