Paul, I just wanted to thank you for the most welcome background information on this recording. I guess I am a facts kind of person and love to know who, what and when and I particularly appreciate this sort of input. It as also hard to conceive of any controversy or personal attacks arising from this sort of factual approach. Your tales of playing and players over there are unfailingly interesting (and usually quite amusing) and I feel that the list (or at least its members of long standing) owe you a bit of thanks.
