Howard,
One of the most interesting things of following this list is to watch
Roman get worked up about something. You should not take it personally.
It's what he does. It's delightfully unamerican. Every now and then I
think of coming up with something just to torque him up for the fun of
it, but his bon mot are too valuable to waste.
all in good fun,
Craig

If it's nasty to say 1) Reger's bowel movement remark is more famous
than any of his music, 2) Reger didn't dispute anything Louis said, and
3) the Sinfonietta is pretty much unknown, so be it.
Sorry, we've gotten way OT. It's long past time to end this
digression.
