Hi David and List,
I am reminded of Walter Bodgett (choirmaster at St. Paul's, Cleveland
Heights, musical advisor to Papa Holtkamp) telling Arthur Loesser at one of
our choir parties how wonderful was his book, "Men, Women, and Pianos - a
Social History," but lamenting the fact that, in trying to read it in bed,
he ended up with bruises on his stomach. ("Fannie" could have that effect as
well.) Walter also dubbed it "Men, Women, and Pianos - the Story of Legs."
I want to add to David's comments about "Organ Loft Whisperings" that it is
everything he says and more, plus the fact that, when you see it, you will
realize that this ain't no $25 book. More like $50, I would say, so take the
opportunity of Agnes's special offer while it lasts, and get the book now.
For information about ordering, check Agnes's Website at

Cheers,
Malcolm Wechsler
