I wondered at the time why such an eminent musician would
deal with me by preference whenever she needed a violinist.
Later came to the conclusion that she perhaps found me a
little bit cute (she's quite a bit older than me, though).
I was doing music with her around the time she wrote the
organ article that became a book for Grove's Dictionary.
She retired close on a decade ago, and when she left her
music directorship up in Newburyport, I quit playing up
there. We e-mail periodically but haven't seen her but
once or twice since.

They can't see anyway, so don't worry about it. It's still no
fair, though.

Indeed. Or perhaps people are getting comfortable enough with
the echo to start admitting their deep dark secrets. I won't
bring up the musical pasts of various moderators whose initials
are D.S. and will wait for them to come out of the loft if they
choose to do so.

 NB> ... Writing about music is like dancing about architecture

Ballet is kind of dancing about architecture.

Which reminds me: Goethe said that architecture is frozen music.
Michael Flanders said that Donald Swann's music is defrosted
architecture.
