Would everyone feel better if we moved this to the off topic section so search engines couldn't lead people to it? The page might come up, but people couldn't see it unless they registered and logged in.

welcome Manskow - you don't by any chance hang out on the Fred Magle forum do you?
a bit of a stretch from DA to a Danish concert organist and composer but you never know. There is a sub-group of graphic artists and a very broad variety of musical tastes there also, largely European in interests. For example they have not yet found a reason to like our President, not sure why...

Thanks! - No, I am not familiar with Fred Magle. It does, however, sound like a place worth checking out!
And - to Dennis; loved your eighties remark. It's true. I saw some photographs recently - the kids at the railway station had a point....
Which, in turn leaves me wondering. We've had a string of revivals over the past few decades. A fifties revival in the eighties, a seventies revival in the nineties. We have our "hits of the seventies, eighties and nineties" radio stations. What will happen in ten, fifteen, twenty years when some dork looks back at this decade and says to himself "yeah, that's the look/sound/attitude for this summer: the.........! This decade has no name! And the next one? The teens? Please....
