      Oh go on, you are among friends you can trust......

      Or is that amongst ?

      And lets face it, we all resort to cases of eurolager when pay day is playing hard to get.
      Or pension day.
      I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

      I am not a number, I am a free man.

            Lager? Rum? You can keep all that, wherever any of it might have originated!

                Den i.e. listening/practice/arranging room, Bbm? Is Madame Bbm pushing for industrial strength soundproofing?

                Enjoy your 'new' home

                Here's something for you - the Simon Bolivar back row rehearsing that meaty bit of Bruckner 7 !

                Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                  Refererence to a "den" reminds me of Ronald Stevenson's name for his home studio - "the den of musiquity".

                    Thanks for that clip, Cali! MrsBBM was wondering that "racket", was! But I thought it stood alright on it's own!

                    That sounds good on it's own!

                        Oops. Just had a senior moment. I was just thinking of the first book on serial composition I read, and the name Sydney Goodsir Smith crept in from the corners of my mind. Reginald Smith Brindle, of course.

                          Another of whom we never hear anything broadcast . He studied with Dallapiccola, iirc.

                              And that remins me in turn of a certain Welsh composer (no names, no pack drill) who took a serial string quartet (I think - it might have been a string trio, I can't remember for certain as it's so long ago) to Lutyens who, when noticing a rapid passage in demisemiquavers in it wherein an E, a G# and a B happened to coincide (although you'd have had to be Boulez to have heard it as such), encircled those notes in red and scrawled "dull tonal references!"...
