On a side note: WKCR, my old favorite radio station from my New York days, has begun its annual ten-day Bach Festival, reminding everyone what a badass he really was. So tune in on your Walkman during your six-hour walk from Brooklyn to Manhattan, or for those of us living out here in The Rest of the Country, listen on the web at WKCR.org. (And if you like what they're doing, send them some money--they're perennially on the verge of financial annihilation.)
