And why should we? See 'subject' for the line that goes here. Honestly, don't 
worry
about the amount of partying Brandwine accomplished. The only thing it affected 
was
his choice of backing musicians (he hired his drinking buddies.) No one's 
setting
him up on a blind date with any of your relatives, so let it go, and just enjoy 
the
musical legacy that he's left for us. Enjoy 'The Song of Songs'!!
Yay Nifty.
