Remember the old stand-by two-liner, "Who was that lady I saw you with last night?" Well, today it is more likely to turn up translated into something like Comedian George Carlin's street-dude one-upper: "Hey, man, what'd ya do last night?" Answer: "I was out wit ya muther, man!"

Last year's Grammy for Best Comedy Record went to George Carlin, 36, who began as a straight-suited standup.

Seth Carlin returned to the piano to accompany Marcus Thompson, whose Julliard training showed in his solid command of the difficult piece. Many people find Hindemith difficult to listen to (the Nazis expelled him from Germany as "a musical Bolshevik."), but the Sonata for Viola and Piano reflects Hindemith's deep regard for the tonal qualities of the viola, expressing the melodic and emotionally moving...
