Len Fehskens <[log in to unmask]> mentioned, a propos my comment: >>It is funny, though, that in other areas of the press, when you know >>a subject well, you realise quite often how much is shallow nonsense. > >Particularly if you've ever been interviewed.... Yes, I have been interviewed and on quite a number of occasions by BBC Radio 4 during the years 1977-83 and I guess enough time has passed to tell this story! I was called for interview on the subject of digital watches etc. making noises during concerts and the serious difficulties that this causes engineers when trying to make live recordings. As I am not a technician I took Tony Faulkner with me to join in the interview. When it was over the BBC interviewer asked me if there were any personalities in London who could be interviewed. I replied, yes, Joshua Rifkin, pointing out that he'd just won the Gramophone Choral Award for his B minor Mass (Nonesuch - of which I was the distributor). I duly put Rifikin in touch with her. The next thing I heard - they had married! John G. Deacon Home page: http://www.ctv.es/USERS/j.deacon
