Unsolicited customer testimonial

I would like to thank you from my staff here at NW Digital Video Productions on the variety and quality of your music. Our business is producing videos and electronic slide shows in DVD format for small companies and personal adventures in life's memories of personal events. We are using the Honolulu Honey music in a video with Ken Burn's effects for a customer who spent 2 months exploring the Hawaiian Islands. It filled a gap that we were lost for music in this video. We are planning are purchasing more music in the near future as soon as my staff has reviewed and made the selections for our music library. Thank you again, and I can say you have a new customer for as long as we are in business.
