Who could command such a following today? Well, I would like to suggest that Wynton Marsalis be considered. And, although I am not one of his fans, I think that Andrew Litton has just the personality to pull off some splendid educational programs. I could live forever without Mr. Litton's podium antics, but as a musician and especially as an eloquent advocate for music, Mr. Litton is tops. He has a splendid way of speaking to a diverse audience without speaking down to anyone. If I had the cash to creat such a thing, I would hire him in a heartbeat. Another person who would be superb in such a vehicle would be Peter Schickele! Kevin Sutton
