Clyde,

Thanks for sending this link.  I have just listened to the 3rd movement of
the Brandenburg.  Wonderful playing.  You are correct, as you have said in
print and on the web, live playing tells the true quality of playing.
Clyde, you have it!  Thanks for sharing and all of the advice you have
willing shared as well.  I ­ and I hope others ­ will listen to these fine
performances.  For those of you who have not looked at Clyde¹s instructional
materials ­ do so!  You will not be disappointed.

Alan Wallace
