There was so much hacking and coughing at the symphony on Thursday and there were so few masks - even though (sigh) the symphony demographic is overall pretty high risk.

I have a Bose “soundlink” that I’m happy with and they make higher end ones (this is a portable one). I think their sound quality is generally very good.

I guess to put it more kindly the hope is that audiences discover new works they like. But this has never been the effect on me.

I didn't like that one much either but I was glad I persisted into the rest of the series. Have you read any of the others? I often assign The Terrorists (the last one) and I think it is superb.
