“Dear Mr. Zick,
I hope this email finds you well. My name is Dr. Christine Gangelhoff, and I am a professor of music at The College of The Bahamas.

“We are now preparing to gather materials for the next volume, which will include Barbados, Trinidad, Grenada, BVI, Curacao, Dominica, St. Kitts, Antigua and Barbuda. Would it be possible to send a request to readers who may have information on relevant composers? I look forward to hearing from you.
Warmest regards,
