Isaac Stern the American virtuoso bailed us out after we were arrested in 1961.
Gosh ... all of you? ... thus making the Grew family's antipathy towards all things American look even more nasty than it already did. |

I'd never seen the name Pim before. That can only mean you've never read  Oh; that checker-pattern looks very similar to the one on the cover of my school Irish-English/Bearla-Gaelige dictionary. Also: I tend to slide into thinking of A as a man actually. I don't know what that says about me. I just think of "A" as being a rather masculine (or gender-neutral rather, which I tend to regard as male by default I think :/ ) name  |

I think it would have been clearer for both of you Dr Grew if your posting had not lacked the necessary balloon....  Baz |

Stanley Kubrick recorded me playing a Chopin study to try out his new tape recorder.

Between 1972 and 1974 I dined twice a week with J.R.R.Tolkien - and he grumped about the soup!

I played in a student rehearsal with John Tavener - one of his compositions for strings and something... never did quite find out what!

uncomfortably crushed up against Mariella Frostrup But I'm sure as soon as she opened her mouth the discomfort melted away..... I'm on about her Honor Blackman accent  |

This is turning into a name-dropping thread  . I was once in a lift with Michael Tippett. I've met his mother, too. Since I've undoubtedly boasted about this before, perhaps people do know. |

Right. Name dropping, is it? When I was at college, amongst the student singers I knew there were: Jane Eaglen Louise Winter Gidon Saks Stephen Richardson Yvonne Howard Joan Rogers Linda Kitchen I had most of them taking part in the speaking chorus in a piece I wrote. Ha! Trying getting them to do that now!  |

My first real job was watching Rhyssa persuasoria:  drill down into logs to lay their eggs on Siricid lavae:  |

The city is a process which always veers away from the form envisaged and desired, ... whose revenge upon its architects and planners undoes every dream of mastery. It is [also] one of the sites where Dasein is assigned the impossible task of putting right what can never be put right. - Rob Lapsley
