[TPIN] Are Symphony Orchestras Today Too Loud?

[Paul Kurtz]

Well, Mr. Graham, I didn't know that bare parts of my body might be of
interest and of course, I didn't know for sure that some of the people
you mentioned in your message are as bare as they may actually be in
performance. 
But, what I figure is that I'll actually display the top/back part of my
head which is starting to bare, if you will, and maybe I can get some
good tips. :-) :-) 
Seriously, I've been joking some of the members of my church choir who
are black and who rock to some of the music we sing and telling them
that they're my instructors who are training me before I retire and go
on the road. It's interesting because I don't feel unrelaxed or anything
when I play but my wife says, "But, you just stand there!!" I guess
while I'm going back to get my PH.D., I'll have to get some theatrics
and find somebodyd who can give visual consciousness in terms of actions
to a blind person, so I can feel natural about what I do!! Right now, I
just feel natural "standing there!" :-) :-)
