I think that the problem with "happenings reports" on this list is the
wide geographical spread of listmembers.  I could write about the Dallas
Symphony and my own Helios Ensemble all day, but I know of only two or
three list members who could actually make it to Dallas to hear them.
I am all for live music.  (Believe me I am, it's how I make a living) but
it seems a little useless to talk about things that the majority of our
members cannot practically come to enjoy.  Recordings, on the other hand,
are available to almost everyone.
