Well, Dave, you remember that I live with Gairt Mauerhoff, the owner/manager
(until he left Ann Arbor in 1978) of the highly successful Liberty Music
Shop in Ann Arbor.  Gairt is German-born, and he well recalls radio
performances of the CSO with Stock.  He calls him Stock.

And why not you? Look at your resources!

Best,
Jane
