I will grant you that I have not met a New Frank in quite a long time.

I worked with two Franks at NEC: Jazz pianist/composer Frank Carlberg, and former BSO percussionist Frank Epstein.

Nevertheless, I'd like to see the entire Boston Symphony Orchestra give it a try.

This is the one I usually give to: www.wlrp.org
(As someone trying to learn Yiddish, language reclamation is something I'm always happy to support)

I do this too!

There's no "herd immunity" to listeria, and good luck conducting your own inspection of the regional poultry processing plant.

I know so many NEC alumni who are ready for this moment.

Cuisine Emergencies like these are the kind of thing embassies should have a 24-hour hotline for, or at least a prominent FAQ page...

I got to work with him on a Borromeo Quartet recording back in 2009, just an extraordinary person.
