Walter Meyer told Lionel and the rest of us: >My first trip to Italy was almost 40 years ago and I too heard a Wagner >opera (Tanhaeuser, I believe) in Florence, although all I remember was >the two Canadian girls I met there who were touring Europe in a Fiat they >had bought. I think that Walter underestimates his software. It's clear to me that it considered such a happy reminiscence needed to be shared with everyone! I didn't hear a Wagner opera In Florence although I was a day late for a concert by the Vienna Philharmonic IIRC. I too met two Canadian girls but at the train station. Is there some cosmic connection between Canada and Florence? Richard Pennycuick [log in to unmask]
