Vote for Rayme!!!

Dear Friends ~

I submitted a music arrangement for a contest to accompany a small musical piece entitled, 'Dona Nobis Pacem' played by the famous cellist, Yo-Yo Ma.

He recorded the piece solo and has invited musicians to accompany his version of the song.

Now that the submission date is over, there is now an opportunity for visitors to go to the site and vote for their favorite submission.

I would like to respectfully ask you, if at all convenient, to please go to the site and vote for my submission if you like it enough to do so. It was a LOT of fun to do, and you are free to browse the hundreds of other submissions as well. Quite a diverse variety! I was honored to be a part of it!

Here's what to do:

Go to www.indabamusic.com
