| 2010-01-31 | Denise | identify a piano piece | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | This is like a 'genie in a lamp' service, I'm sure you know how vexing it can be to have an unidentified melody stuck in your head... and now pouff! It's known, and my brain can rest. Thank you so very much, Jim! Not only was your advice correct, it was very prompt and graciously kind. |

| 2009-11-11 | Michael | Chopin Prelude | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | This was a wonderful answer to a question that has been asked but unanswered many times (that is, until now). Thank you so much for satisfying my curiosity about an issue that has been bugging me for 50 years, ever since I heard it played in a way that I thought was "wrong" in spite of being an untrained kid, who just happened to love Chopin. Great job! |

| 2009-07-16 | Russ | what song was that? | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thanks Jim! You are correct. I guess its sorta electronic classical. Best Wishes, Russ |
| 2009-07-11 | Rosemar | Identify background music | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Appreciate his knowledge and kindness in helping me find some music. |
| 2009-07-02 | Rosemar | Find name of music | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank Mr. Frimmer for me. I understand his hesitancy to give an e-mail address; but if I had the link, I would have forwarded it. All I have is an e-mail from a friend with no indication as to who published the prints that went along with the music. Someone in my office has suggested an AT&T service whereby you play the melody, and they give you the name of the piece. I will try that avenue. Rosemary Lazenby |
