No problem at all rvpiano !The only reason I went on and on was I respect you as a musician . At one time I was part of the " family " of the second best band in Berlin
and knew well most of them . As a History Prof . I saw that their total
immersion in their craft left them with little knowledge of the society around them . Some were aware of that as Germany makes a
BIG effort to tell history like it is in a much more truthful way than we do .I talked to a lot of them about the world around as it related to them .
Some thanked me .
As I saw it musicians are like the best doctors and others in the most demanding professions . They live in a bubble, which is great for the music, but not always for them .
P.S . My buy of the Beaux Arts box was one of my better buys .That Pressler is a one-off .
