Summary: 

One thing there seems to be a dearth of is performance information.
What are people going to these days? Soloists? Chamber groups?
Orchestras (large or small)? What genres: old, new, something in between,
a mixture? Operas? And so forth...

Are there any netters who go to concerts regularly (or perhaps irregularly)?
Or does everybody sit home and play their audiophile LPs and CDs through
stereo systems which draw only slightly less power than ENIAC I?

Amidst all this talk of new releases and "why my CD doesn't reproduce a
44kHz square wave" and "who cares if your CD doesn't ...", everybody seems
to have forgotten the incomparably greater thrill of being where the
music is made. Or maybe those who do are too busy going to concerts to
post news...

Reviews of concerts would be interesting too. Some groups get around.
Some people get around, too. It might be useful to someone in a town
"on business" to know there's an orchestra in the vicinity worth listening to
instead of sitting in the ol' hotel room watching another dumb movie on TV.

How about it, folks? Interestedly awaiting results,

                                        Bill Laubenheimer
