Thank you for honoring my Father, James Clifton Williams, as we approach what would have been his 100th birthday. My sister, Sarah, and I enjoyed this lovely tribute very much. It is comforting to know that his musical legacy lives on. My hope is that music programs continue to thrive in our schools. Regards,
Helen and Sarah Williams

Helen and Sarah,

I was introduced to your father's work as a junior high student when our band programmed "Variation Overture" for contest. "Dedicatory Overture" was another of my favorites. This was indeed a wonderful, and well-deserved, tribute to one of band music's finest composers.
