Sorry if my concert announcement offended some. I did instruct my record
company, Ongaku Records, to post the announcement to the list. Of course,
this was based on years of watching concert announcements such as the one
below (from today) flow through my inbox.

It is a list about clarinet, after all.

Perhaps people object to the use of adjectives and quotations of reviews in
announcements? Ongaku simply posted the same announcement that was mailed
out on postcards, sent to the newspapers, posted on the web, etc...

In the future, would the list prefer adjective-free and quotation-free
announcements in the form of?

Who:
What:
When:
Where:
How Much:

If so, perhaps Mark should post this proviso as a policy of the list.
However, I would like to note that it most certainly has never been done
that way in the past.
