Karl,

So glad to see that Nanes get his due from a rue conoisseur of - je ne sais
quoi. In my active freelancing days, I played an entire concert at Town Hall
of his music (financed and possibly conducted by him also) and am still around
to tell of it. Sadly, I must admit that some of his LPs are taking up valuable
shelf space in my collection.

Regards,

Peter Hirsch
