Ah Len, memories.
In 1981 I saw Jon Vickers in a famous production of Peter Grimes at the Paris Opera. I could afford only a limited viewing seat in the gods but, in a death-defying stunt I would certainly not be capable of today, I held on to a pillar and leant out over the auditorium. A magnificent roduction.

Paul Kildea, quoted in the article, has written a really interesting book on Chopin, btw, which is beside my bed as I type.

Brian Grimes with Vickers-just incredible-the first time I was made aware of it-John F wanted to get rid of his laser machine and I went to his house and picked up that and some of his laser disks-the Grimes was just astounding-I don't care what Britten thought! Regards, Len

Brian Grimes? Len, have you discovered an unpublished Britten opera? How exciting!

Barney a missing coma here and there-not a big deal when you consider all the mistakes I make when at my tablet-the smartphone is even worse! Regards, Len

Yes, the missing comma allowed my post and my entertainment. The mistake was that you should have been replying to me, not Brian. As you say, no biggie; we've all done it.

Len, the British royal family apparently has as its motto "never complain, never explain". I have three! Every change is for the worse (Joseph Heller in Good as Gold), the future will be better tomorrow (Dan Quayle) and - this one aquired from Joe posting a Peanuts strip a week or two ago - if you can't be right, be wrong as loudly as you can. I think motto 3 is relevant to you here....

Barney can't be me-I'm hoping to hide my mistakes but you keep finding them! Regards, Len
