Caliban, I hope you're listening to The Enchanted Island - the Baroque Pastichio from the Met. Old Caliban's getting quite an outing, if that's the right word.

Done that gag... http://www.for3.org/forums/showthrea...139#post120139

It's being recorded, otherwise engaged at present (work since 2pm )

I was going to suggest a visit to one of the cinema showings. Are you and Lady Rubberknickers going to indulge?

Hans Knappertsbusch spent some time at Bayreuth as an assistant to Hans ....... The third Hans is allterative.
