Ah yes, and then there's that great Morley madrigal, Creampie is in  
my Mistress's face...   Trust me, Marco, I have run into most of the  
classical - and when I grow up, I wanna be Anna Russell or at least  
just like her.  I was inflicted with much music at a young age...not  
that I will ever admit that I even know what a violin is, much less  
know how to play one.  But I managed to to be in many ensembles up  
into my thirties (NOT playing anything with strings - discovered  
lower brass early enough to retain my sanity) and got to perform in  
some really cool places (like the Konzerthalle in Wien) before I  
discovered the amazing timedrain of true love (long story, funny bit,  
with a dog...married the guy too and he'll never escape-just ask  
me;-).  But I still get royalty checks from time to time for some  
percussion I did for some folk music records long long ago (or at  
least it feels that way) and got to do a little song and dance stuff  
on B'way through the Lowe Studio organization as a kid but can't  
really compete with getting to play in the same room as Perlman - I'm  
seriously envious.  My hubby and me catch a lot of real music down in  
SCL but I don't remember Perlman on this year's schedule at all.  Who  
do you play for?
