Hi Joseph,

Even with the cold, I envy you. To be there and=20
to get out from under a nasty personnel problem I=20
have to face next week would be paradise. Put on=20
a warm coat and poke around to your heart's content.

I stayed in Paris in January for one month about=20
15 years ago. It was cold, but not like the cold you have right now.

There are a couple of weekly booklet/magazines=20
containing schedules of concerts, recitals and everything else.

"L'officiel des spectacles" comes out on Wednesday.

"Pariscope" is weekly but I can't remember the day of publication.

Rue de Rome had most of the clarinet shops at=20
that time. The Selmer shop is somewhere else, can't remember where.

What great memories you give me! Have a great time.

Oliver
