What Would you Trade your System FOR?

Well, since Cameron Diaz is already spoken for, I'd trade mine for a private place on a no-motor lake in the forest coupled with a way of making a living that allowed for enjoying having the place. Alternatively, I might just wait the four months since Cameron is first on Albert's list.

A time machine to take me back to the glory days of the CSO, Fritz Reiner, Jasha Heifetz, Rubinstein et al.....and sufficient small change to enjoy it all. By and by, the ladies would come by themselves........(sigh)

Porsche 911, and a gorgeous woman who is proficient in all rooms of the home. She would also love watching hockey and football, and NEVER nag me.

I wouldn't trade even my second system for anything on earth. Music gives me more pleasure and lasting contentment and sense of purpose and meaning in life than anything. However, if I was assured that giving up both my systems would mean no tribe or individual would kill or maim other tribes or individuals for any purpose whatsoever, including religion or territory, then I would definitely do it. But tribalism and murder seem to be inherent in human nature, so to cope I must play music and keep my head together and feet on the ground.
