  1. Admiral,
    I am not one that is convinced of a divine plan. However, pertaining to your comments regarding Mr. Anthony's post "City that never sleeps" , thats an interesting perspective that I will consider. I am recovering from a bad orthopedic injury due to being struck by another driver (uninsured) in a bad automobile accident. I am facing a possible below the knee amputation with much trepidation. Are you a religious (theist) gentleman? Once again thanks for your advice regarding tribulation.

    Best,
    Hilton

  3. I must admit that I dislike that rhythmic clapping where-ever I encounter it, but thought it great how Karajan handled it: first he quieted it down and thereby subjected the audience to his will and then he again 'allowed' them back in and directed both the orchestra and the public. One needs a very strong, intuitively- creative personality to be able to do it like that.
