How nice to hear from you Paul. Thanks to you I have read the Story of "A" by Bruce Haynes. Our mutual friend Leslie Ross leant me her copy. Thanks also...
Dear Paul, Could have is the operative here. Ibo, as a musicologist, looks for paper evidence, and you seem to trust his strong assertions. His opinion...
