Dear RepDiva Karen,

While I continually stand in awe of the breadth of your rep and technical
knowledge - and the list of recital closers was among your most impressive -
I have to say I love Crumb. Agree wholeheartedly about Carter & Babbitt,
but if one has the intestinal fortitude and the patience to really pound out
the parts, I have found Crumb's to be transcendant music. Or at least it
was when Jan DeGaetani sang him.

Happy New Year!

Susan Schneider
