Many happy returns to Ron, wise owl and intrepid walker. You have brightened these pages with your spectacular photographs, widened our knowledge and appreciation of many, not least Shostakovich, and emptied our pockets with your CD recommendations! Have a great day at Castle Dough!  |

Thanks to you I now know there's far more to Scotland than  Must show you a pic I've got of me in a kilt some time.  Happy birthday Ron and (belatedly) IGI. |

Ron, I remember a while back you posted a picture of yourself fronting a popular beat combo back in your flared and younger days, so I deduce you're a bit of a rocker. And now, at least in the context of this forum, you are also a mod. This therefore, unless I am very much mistaken, makes you both a mod and a rocker! Now I understand why you were so cross that you didn't get down to Brighton the other night - a lovely concert, then outside for a bit of a punch-up with yourself afterwards, just like the good old days. All the very best to you, you bring so much knowledge, intelligence and enthusiasm to this forum and it would be a much poorer place without you. Happy Birthday! |

At every one of these [classical] concerts in England you will find rows of weary people who are there, not because they really like classical music, but because they think they ought to like it. (Shaw, Don Juan in Hell)

Best wishes for your age-ratcheting day -- and thanks for introducing me to Tippett! In your honor, I shall give a spin to the Sonata for Four Horns.  |

Very many happy returns of the day are winging their way from your old neck of the woods, Ron. Have a terrific time - perhaps you may even find some form of tax return deadline to get you excited (did I really read that correctly last night?)
