Don't rush me!

I had to figure out a way of ensuring my Symphony was copyrighted. Those themes that I sang aren't NZSO or NYO property. Came up with them in my head, wrote them on paper. - I'm 32. I'm famous. I don't need the NYO. Joel is the soloist who has actually mastered my first Prelude. I'm expecting to record my symphonic dances as part of Shipwrecked on Islands. The only problem is that everyone wished the NZSO had premiered my preludes. The MIDI was so convincing that you lost face. - You've already done a responding piece with Shayne Carter.

It's not my fault that NZSO board members don't like me killing their orchestra. It's much more likely that the CSO or APO will embrace my Symphony. I'm asking Paul McCartney for composition advice. He's written one. So have Ross Harris and Anthony Ritchie. None of the NZSM staff have. You're just afraid that my symphony might promote world peace.
