A propos not a heck of a lot, I'm reminded that at the age of 15 or so,
instead of a fireman, astronaut or football player, I wanted to be a
composer.  At the top of the list of composers I wanted to emulate was a
certain Anton Bruckner, whose 4th Symphony had struck such a chord in me
at that age.  Then I discovered he died a virgin at 84 -- he promptly fell
to the bottom of the list!

Almost as goodlooking and Adonis-like as Steve
Schwartz but with a smaller library!
