@ScreamingFox Really OFF topic: I saw the Vic Firth stick in your mouth. Everett "Vic" Firth was the principal tympanist of the Boston Symphony for decades. The drumstick business was a profitable "sideline" he started after many requests to make drumsticks like ones he made for himself. Because the tympanist stands on a riser at the back of the stage, Firth was always visible in Symphony Hall during a performance, a tall, elegant man in tails. A wonderful memory for those of us who were there.
