I also would like Megan to stay - up until this recent flurry of missives I really had no problem with you at all.

As this thread continues to stray it shall have to be closed - anyone is welcome to continue the original debate in a new thread.

Dude. You are "The Dude".

Ehh - on topic - I LOVE MTT (musically of course - I'm straight, it'd never work out).
His "Keeping Score" series is probably the greatest educational program on classical music since Leonard Bernstein's Young Peoples Concerts. Also he recorded a version of Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue with a piano roll Gershwin recorded himself which is just ripping. It plays like "hot jazz". Recommended.

Or, as the great 'Sachmo' would say, "le jazz hot"!!! Now, dude 2, I have work 2 do!!
