Dear Peter Very happy to see you back with us - so sorry you have been sick - very much hope you are feeling better now. I was fascinated to see that Tony Spargo was paid $25,000 to play with Enrico Caruso!! I would have loved to have seen that. Its like Buddy or Gene performing with Pavarotti. Very interesting to read of Tony's 5 favorite musicians - I also loved Ed Hall's playing, so distinctive
Take care of yourself and please keep writing - we love to hear from you Peter
