  1. thanks. that was my intent. you got it exactly.
  2. they were as instantly recognisable as Churchill's cigar or Stalin's moustache. But unlike his political contemporaries, who enjoyed all the trappings of power and privilege, Mahatma Gandhi had few personal possessions apart from his wire-rimmed spectacles, leather sandals and a treasured Zenith pocket watch. Gandhi wore them along with his simple white dhoti as he led millions of Indians in non-violent protest against British colonial rule. The modest mementoes are now to be sold in New York and are likely to fetch a price that would have astonished and possibly appalled the spiritual Father of the Nation, who made a virtue of poverty and the renunciation of Western affluence. Gandhi gave the spectacles to a colonel in the Indian Army who asked him for inspiration, telling the man: “These gave me the vision to free India.” http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/worl...icle5711981.ece
  3. i really loved muzak, particularly the early years. most humans have the ability to survive. they find (or make) cracks and chance-meetings, and undreamed of opportunities. when these opportunities come along, please share them with us.

  14. is anyone familiar with the boston experimental band, 'orange then blue'? while listening to their recording 'while you were out', i was moved and deeply impressed. this appears to be the creation of george schuller, and for that, we thank him.

  19. baseball needs the olympic testing standard. till then, it's a joke.
  20. you folks are the extreme cream of the crop and are very adaptable. ... am thinking that perhaps the way we have all lived is pretty much gone forever. ... have had some very trying financial matters during my life, but conditions were never this bad. ... optimistic that each of you will succeed. those of us who appear to have sufficient, though meager, resources cant be sure whether the funds we seem to have are safely and wisely invested or whether inflation might do us all in.
  21. thank you for financially championing such astonishing music. my copies are well-worn already.
