My dear Anton,

Please elaborate on these two nominations you have made.
(Did you leave Mozart for someone else to make a nomination?)

Two other comments (somewhat related):

-- The 16th of Dec. is also the birthday of clarinetist Allan Vache.

-- The Time Machine concept has recently been used by reed man Dan Levinson
for his new website. He has audio clips there from some great new releases.
His wife, Molly Ryan, has really come into her own as a vocalist.
