Thank you very much for all for the suggestions ... I'm glad to have
sparked off some happy memories.

It's all got off to a very nice start. Soon after sending my original
email I realised there was a performance at the Paris Opéra this evening
by the Béjart Ballet with music by the Ensemble Contemporain, including
a performance by Alain Damiens of Pierre Boulez' clarinet-and-
electronics piece Dialogue de l'ombre double. Brilliant performance and
some great choreography with it -- and Alain Damiens performed from
memory...!!

By chance I bumped into him in the corridor after the concert and we had
a lovely chat. Great finish to a great evening.

Best wishes and thanks again (and keep those suggestions coming!:-),

-- Joe
