Following the death of my good friend Joseph Dillon Ford in 2017, I discussed various matters with his other friends and relations.
Finally it was decided to publish his works on sheetmusicplus.com so that his music can be preserved.
Proceeds will go to his family.
These are the pieces published to date and references to his other works and activities:
