Bravo Dudamel! At least Social Democracy is in support of the arts. If their
rhetoric were not so inflammatory, it might gain support in the USA left.
Do you know of Charles Sweers, a violinist of some note in Caracas? I am
unable to establish contact, and he is an old friend who is active in the
musical and academic life of Carqcas. My "google" here leads me to some
obscure university and no further.
Herb
