Sorry 'bout my late reply: Carl Shubbe writes:

I am not the one to sort out the etymology of internet lurking and it's
whereabouts, which may and may not be beyond Mambassa.

What little I have heard of Stevens music, Carl's characterisation fits
eminently. The somewhat interesting coincident here is that my more or
less thorough Internet search on Stevens just turned up mentionings of
him at pages referring to his students.

That "mood" seem to be in the "turned off" mode at the moment.. Still,
I've gathered enough information thrugh the help of this list to be able
to give a fair introduction to to my friends perfoamnce of the Tuba
Sonata..
Thanks all for beeing the living MCML music encyclopaedia!
