Well, I didn't mean my post t refer to folks like us! First, we "old
f...ogeys" have pretty well reached a point where we are "sot in our
ways" musically...and, second, most listeners eventually reach a point
where they can accept...and to some extent enjoy...classical instrumental
performances!
The odd thing here is that JP, AFAIK even older than I am, shares my
lack of enthusiasm for opera...something I have never learned to love...
