(the pitch being they would offer credit to anyone...) So popular did he become, that I heard him on a local classical music station doing a commercial for the (?SF) Symphony, in his usual style: "we want to help YOU get started in the symphony world...!" Yes, this really happened. -- Gordon A. Moffett { allegra, decvax!decwrl } !amd70!proper hplabs!intelca!proper!gam
