...surprised that you suggested no escape plan for the average CEBUS victim. Mine is workable, simple, and guaranteed to trim the waistline while liberating the mind from ugh-plugs.

Of course, some orchestras are not arranged that way. Worse, the bass line is often muddied in the filtering...
...inveterate prankster who used to break up his staid colleagues in the Budapest Quartet by inserting pictures of nude women between the pages of their scores. He is also an accomplished chef.
