Huh? I am not bent at all.  I realize that there are fans and non fans of
Stokie.  I find him to be one of the giants of 20th century music making,
and am grateful for his contributions to the re-popularization of the music
of ole JSB.  I am even more grateful for his "symphonic syntheses of Wagner
et al.  What marvelous music!  I don't fault Don for not liking the Bach
arrangements...it's a matter of taste, that's all!
