Dan,

I'm afraid you may miss us - Feb 17 - 19 (Presidents' Day weekend). And it
was you who recommended and put me in touch with Chris Weait, whom I am
looking forward to meeting and studying with. I thought I'd thanked you for
this intro, but if I forgot, I do so now!

The theme next year will likely be "operatic Harmoniemusik" and we'll do
Fidelio then! And I am getting contra or string bass both years.

Keith
