I am interested to enquire as to the language WW will use to address this audience? I met him on business on two occasions and on both he gave the impression that he does not (or would not?) speak English. Perhaps he is like de Gaulle? When he addressed the collected senior staff of Philips Classics he spoke only German and I never heard a word of English from him duirng all that week even though 85% of the group couldn't speak German. On another occasion the guests, at a pre-performance meeting in his office, were Japanese and WW's words had to be translated into English and then into Japanese (and vice versa). Although the meeting appeared to be in good time it took a while to complete in this manner. He didn't have to hold the curtain! John G. Deacon Home page: http://www.ctv.es/USERS/j.deacon
