But I <br>fhink you're a little hard on the "stony" page turner - she has an <br>awesome responsibility.? She can't afford to be carried away by the <br>music; she has to become a page-turning machine :-).<br><br>Tony<br><br><br>On 01/12/17 07:37, Charles Suhor wrote:<br>> Okay, this isn?t jazz, but there are so many interesting things going <br>> on, musically and visually, that I couldn?t help sharing it.
