Has all decency left the entire planet?

That's not quite accurate Maple when you consider the church that was damaged.
At least it has a musical connection even if not your genre.

Damn Iranians...

Damage done to the Cathedral containing the pipe organ upon which J.S. Bach performed some of his music has nothing to do with audio?! Okay, if Abbey Road Studio is vandalized, nobody dare mention it on Audiogon.

Thank you, bdp24. Exactly the reason I posted this. Having performed and listened to untold number of the works of J.S. Bach, this news was hard to stomach.

Dave, I had (R.I.P.) a longtime friend who, after retiring from Hewlett Packard, spent his days playing computer chess and recording himself performing J.S. Bach keyboard works on his German-made upright. Bach's music alone can take an entire lifetime to absorb and come to appreciate fully.
