Ernie: I've dealt with Mr. Jones @ CVR myself & find him to be quite helpful (just placed an order on Friday, as a matter of fact) but your reply implies that everyone on this list is only interested in locating vocal music. My husband & spent a couple of hours just browsing there when a group that we sing with sang @ Carnegie in '97. As I recall, Patelson's is a great source for instrumental music, older publications & especially for "voice with instrument" music.
It's good to have a variety of sources since not everyone is going to have the same things in stock. I'm sure that we can all think of a time when we needed something in a hurry & our usual source didn't have it in stock.
