Dear Barrett: I wonder how you managed to get into a club with a minimal age requirement of 80...:) Be ready for an outpouring of "Ah, I remember well..." On the serious side, I wonder if you realize what a near-universal probem it is (especially in the US) that most classical-music concerts are witnessed by vast expanses of white-haired listeners. I am just turning gray myself and as I am attending concerts nightly and in many locations, I keep searching for the appearance if not young, at least younger, people. When I saw your note, and the fact that you're 18, I jumped as high as these aging knees allowed. Hearty welcome, warm good wishes, Janos Janos Gereben/SF www.sfcv.org [log in to unmask]
