Re: Fwd: Frank London Concert Dec 19

[George Robinson <GRComm...>]

I'll second our esteemed listmaster's recommendation. And you really
should hear the CD, which is unlike almost anything I've reviewed. Hey,
you gotta be at least interested in a quartet that consists of trumpet,
bass, harmonium and glass harmonica! If that doesn't arouse your
curiosity a bit have your pulse checked.
