    Would the music EVER arrive?

    Voice of the Whale is a great piece and rates five stars. I am writing this review of Sheet Music Plus's delivery service, which stinks. I have placed several orders with them in the past few months, and most took several weeks to arrive. If I can find another music distributor, I'm going to use it!!!!
