He also taught me "Versteigerung", but that has or had a slightly different meaning. Maybe this kind of difference is due to local variation? my grandfather came from the Rheinland, and you are living in the Black Forest.

Rien,
Thanks for the correction. Sorry I didn't get around to writing sooner. I've been busy with concerts and new music school year starting.

Was very dissappointed to hear Tony Pay will leave the list. I hope it won't be for long.

Was nice to meet you and your wife and play with you as well. Maybe we can repeat it some day...

Best regards,
David
