Warren and Terry, I was told, many years ago that I would never write another technical piece for the Amica Bulletin again. Why? Because Jeffrey Morgan is...
It sounds as if you've run into some looney with a highly over-inflated ego and an axe to grind. (How DARE you enjoy music I don't deem worthy!) Bozos of this...
I am not currently a member of AMICA, but once those of you who are members get your journals, I propose that we all write opinions back to the journal editor...

Warren and all, I think your offer is the crux of what everyone is really asking for, and frankly, nobody is going to be completely satisfied until both music...
