I hear the "New Kingsway Hall Orchestra" is trying to recreate the Total
"Sound" of the "Olde" Kingsway Hall - to such an extent they are trying to
duplicate it in every way?? Gut Strings are "in"!! Will the Audience have
to attend in "Full White Tie & Tails", and the ladies in Full Length Gowns
& Long Gloves to "create" the appropriate "Sound Blanket"?? Will every one
have to come by hansom cab or coach + horses?? Will early "electric" lights
or Gas Lamps be used in the Hall?? I imagine Heating / Air Conditioning is
NOT "on"?? Oh, I suppose lady musicians will be relegated to the rear of
the 2nd Violins & the harp, Only?? How "blurry silly" is this HIP thing
going to get ??
