My "qualifications" don't invalidate my opinion. As for my
"qualifications" I have no musically professional ones - but I've
listened to Classical music since I was 15 (37 now), and own over 600
classical CDs. So, I like to think I know a *little* bit about
Classical music.

Last concert I attended was an all Stravinsky concert put on by the KC symp=
hony.
