Do you know, that after my notebook catastrophe outlined above, she took the trouble of finding my number and calling me up and getting my address so she could mail it to me! I've never had such highclass treatment in my life and I've left behind things in every state of the union. As for the spinet being a harpsichord, yes that was me trying shorthand to describe the polished style of the afternoon. What do I know about spinets? I'll tell you everything I know in 4 lines: "We need a little Christmas/ Right this very minute/ Candles in the window/ Carols at the spinet." That's from the musical Mame with Angela Lansbury. Great to hear from you and thanks. Dear David A, it was super elegant and she is a wonderful hostess and pianist.

You could do a lot of good with this blog and I trust you to do so. I guess the way to get things done in this world, is not to be too fussy about fact-checking, and I guess your approach is suitable of a sort of ad-hoc salon event; on the other hand, it was an elegant affair in a lovely setting even Harry might have approved of including Karen's playing was magnificent, I thought.

Oh my goodness! Somehow I never really thought you'd see this article. Well, you are a master and the pictures of yours that I have I look at daily and love 'em. Foley, Alabama, for some reason I just couldn't keep it in my mind. The whole exhibition and sale so staggered me that I wound up leaving my reporter's notebook at our hostess' house, nearby the piano. Thanks for writing in, and Vivat! Vivat Harry Jacobus!
