That's true, Dan; but when I did a Google search, I was having
difficulty separating the 'hype' from the 'wider perspective'. One
article mentions that Lowenstern is "on the roster" without saying that
he is principal or "world renowned" or "frequent performer" or whatever.
Therefore I was asking for a wider-based opinion.

He will be appearing nearby to me in an acoustic+electronic performance,
and the tickets are only $18. The name "EarSpasm" also made me a bit
nervous. I am one of those 'limited' people who needs melody in order
to enjoy music. So I was debating whether to attend.

Based on the various Klarinet responses, I'm going to buy a ticket.

Thanks,
Bill
