I have his Sibelius symphony cycle. In fact it’s the only Sibelius symphony cycle I have - at least for now.

Congress has a total of 535 voting members: 435 members in the House of Representatives and 100 members in the Senate.Like they don't orchestrate your life? And if they passed, like they could pass anything meaningful, it should be to the great Beyonce.

I wondered if that was what you meant, but I thought, "No. You wouldn't let politics get into
every thread."
I guess I was wrong. :(

In 1971, I had a week’s leave after getting discharged from the hospital in Germany. Spent it in London, and managed to score a ticket to the Last Nigh of the Proms...Davis was the conductor... one of the most amazing and awesome musical experiences of my lifetime. Victoria and Albert Hall was just unreal..the entire audience having the time of their lives..
