This is why it'll never happen. If the members of this list can't support
any tastes other than their own, what are the chances of the public at
large doing it?
The last time I posted to this list, the acknowledgement indicated 964
members. Even if all U.S. (and for the sake of maximizing revenue)
all Canadian members contributed $100.00 U.S., the total would be what?
$50,000? $60,000? We couldn't do it alone and we wouldn't do it together.
Instead, we'd get caught up in arguments over whether Pavrotti should be
allowed at all or whether Berio could be played between the hours of 3:00
and 4:00 A.M.
