He has a name that sounds like the baritone that sang with us (San
Francisco Symphony Chorus in the late-70s, usually with von Stade).
Very good looking guy, did opera too.  I see there's a Stilwell that
has recorded since the early 80s so it must be he.

By the way, our chorus has done well on the Grammy's getting one when I was
in it (they let us each take a photo with it) and in spite of the fact that
I'm not there now ;-) it's gotten nominated for both the Rite of Spring and
an Xmas crossover recording this year.

Good to know they're paying attention to works/performances of substance...
