========================
Salut! Michael!

->  HN> Gung hey Fat choy Michael!
-> 
-> Thanks, and same to you.
-> 
So far so good.....!
 
->  ->  HN> There's also thinking about YOUR 
->  ->  HN> well being...not an insignificant factor!
->  -> That's what the hotel rooms are for, as well as significant
->  -> proportions of the visiting of friends, which I have always
->  -> enjoyed, but which now is becoming a necessity.
->  HN> I was perhaps thinking a bit further
->  HN> out than that. 
-> 
-> I never think that far ahead. Doesn't work for me any more.
->
I'm sorry to hear that, I look forward
to making plans!
 
->  HN> You might 
->  HN> better take everything he says as a lie
->  HN> until he verifies it. 
-> 
-> Well, I never actually believe him face value, but the working
-> premise is always that what he says is true, and then the chips
-> fall where they fall. So far, it hasn't been that much skin off
-> my nose.
->
If it's been working I suppose it's working (grin).
 
->  HN> Do not know what the JSSA is but it
->  HN> sounds like a job for the Justice
->  HN> league of America
-> 
-> Jewish Social Service Agencies. Probably the most effective
-> bunch in the area.
->
Ah! And he's managed to P** them off 
completely? 
 
->  -> We'll get 80-90 of market price, and it'll be a teardown,
->  -> with no fond memories anywhere. It's not a concern.
->  HN> Then why continue to drag this out?
-> 
-> Let's see. Give the kid immediate access to a third of
-> a million dollars in an election year. H'm. And I did
-> promise his father that I would do my best to make sure
-> he's taken care of.
->
It's good to see that you take your
promises so seriously..it's not so good
that you keep them at the expense of your
own mental well being. And there's no way you
can convince him that a trust fund would be 
a good way for him to insure financial 
security for the long haul? 
 
->  -> From what I understand the former East Bloc is
->  -> where most of the recording is being done: much
->  -> cheaper, and the musicians are serviceable.
-> 
-> You're probably referring to the Nashville Symphony
-> anyway - those are pretty much vanity recordings (though
-> the product is pretty good, there's no chance they'll
-> ever make any money - they have to be funded by someone).
->
Not sure, all I know is that several 
Luthier friends have mentioned that 
there is quite a business in studio
work in Nashville (other than playing
country) and that the recording studios
there have really gotten some breadth 
in their work. Several record labels
have been doing recording work there
over the last 4 or 5 years. 
 
->  -> Anyhow, I'm retired.
->  HN> Even retired guys like to sit in
->  HN> every now and then don't they?
-> 
-> Not in orchestral music, they don't. The retired guys I
-> know work on their boats, travel, play chamber music, work
-> on their boats ... .
-> 
Yeah...I wanna boat...but not the
work part! I try to avoid four letter
swear words..like work, diet, work...
I'd like the travel part...just can't 
afford it (Grin)!

Chat with you soon Amigo!
