Since I started the Vocal
Works website 20+ years ago, it has been a one-man operation, and
unfortunately, the complexity of its design makes it virtually
impossible to simply pass the site along to be maintained by another
person or organization, while preserving the free access that has
characterized the site from the beginning. That
means that someday this site will be unavailable – not soon, I trust,
but someday. Out of my concern for those who rely on the resources
provided by the site I sent, on 2/3/24, a message to the 375 churches
and individuals on my mailing list, announcing “Solo Bank Insurance.”
Because of the way this site is designed, it is
possible to put all its files, including the 2,100+ recordings, on a
single flash drive. I’m calling it Solo Bank Insurance because having
the files on a flash drive means that one can insert the flash drive
into one’s computer and access all the features of the site – without an
Internet connection – thus making the key features of the site available
for decades.
Of course, once on a flash drive, the site cannot be
updated, and the current version of the flash drive reflects the site as
it was on September 1, 2024. However, I expect to make an updated flash
drive at 6-month intervals as long as I’m able, the next one coming on
March 1, 2025.
I have set the price of the flash drive at $215 (which
includes mailing), and so far, 20 individuals and churches have ordered
drives. My offer stands as long as I’m able to create the drives.
Furthermore, purchasers will be able to get updated versions of the
drive for just $18, postage included (my costs are $12.55).
There is more detail in my original email of 2/3/24,
which you can access here.
To request the
9/1/24 drive, call me (Dick Frantzreb) at 916/781-2900 or email frantz@vocal-works.com.
- f you haven't ordered a drive before the price is
$215. Don't prepay; I'll send an invoice with the driv
