I apologize Jose, I should not have used your first name so familiarly when I
first
wrote. Here in the States, we do not stand on ceremony and of course you are
welcome to
use my first name. The gentleman I am speaking about is Alan Grishman. He is a
bit older
now, in his seventies, but was at one time the youngest violinist ever invited
to be a
part of the Casals Festival Orchestra. He is has now married a woman in San
Miguel and
lives there happily, but has little chamber music which was his great passion. I
just
thought it best to ask as I know how starved he is to play and I know how well
he plays.
