Default Mr. Coats' articles on arranging?

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, but I was wondering if anyone happened to save Paul Coats' excellent article on arranging before it was taken down.

I have a bit of arranging to do for a school combo, and I figure that it'd be easier to use what he wrote than go asking around for books from friends and colleagues, and it doesn't seem to be on Mr. Goodson's site yet.

If no one does have it, I can always ask on Mr. Goodson's forum. But, frankly, I don't have much respect for the man just after what I've seen in the last few months over there, and I'd really rather not have to deal with his site if I can help it.

Thanks in advance!

You could also ask Paul Coats himself for clarifications if you have questions (sorry Harri I don't mean to step-over you) You can easilly find Paul's email in the signature of his anterior SOTW postings - I'm sure that Paul will do himself a pleasure in answering you.

On a different matter, I don't think that you should worry about where you get the information you need. Nobody here at SOTW will slam you for that. Information is information. If it that info helps you and enable you to learn and progress, who cares where you get it from!

Thank you, sir!

Kim, I know that my sources are a matter of insignificance. But, I've kept my account at Steve's forums, and I haven't liked what I saw there. And I'm certainly going to look for Mr. Coats' email, to thank him for such a helpful article, if nothing else.

Paul Coats articles were and always will be a source of great knowledge and study. The man is one of my favorite educators " on line" and I always use his _lessons_as hand outs with students.

His knowledge on those subjects is top shelf and perfectly to the point.
I'm glad people are checking them out.

Wow, this is great stuff for an amateur composeer/arranger like me.

So, can I use Mr. Coat's stuff for my students )

He is a wonderful generous man.
