Another site I post on changed it to "Just type 1:"

Thanks gerg - I didn't have the "numerical" hint, but I did realise the purpose of the question. It would be nice to think I was cleverer than a spambot, but sadly ...
Unfortunately my window of free time has gone so I'll be back in a few days to comment. (Loved wr's Koechlin!)

Glad you liked it! And everyone else who did, too - there have been some very nice and perceptive comments, which are much appreciated.

Not relevant to the discussion, but since it was brought up, the worst hurricane along the east coast was Hurricane Agnes in 1972. 130 people were killed ncluding 19 in Maryland. The name Agnes was retired, never to be used for a hurricane again. See

Hurricane Agnes

That was something to remember!

It appears that Irene will cause little damage, hopefully no deaths. Perhaps some much needed rain.

First site says sorry, error

Second site says malware has been found.

???

I lived through and experienced both Hurricanes Allen and Alicia. Allen was a deadly storm which filled the entire Gulf of Mexico and killed 290. We were spared a direct hit.

Alisha, though, was a different story, causing (IIRC) $2b of damage to Houston and Galveston. I remember huddling with the family in Mom and Dad's closet in the middle of the night with flashlights. You have no control. A strong wind or rogue tornado can rip your roof off at any moment.

At present, it appears Irene is packing deadly 33-MPH winds...

Lilylady:

I loved your Germany pictures!!! My wife and I spent over an hour going through them last night. The tours, the composers, the history... Thank you so much for that!


For e-cital: Ignore the malware warning. We banned spammers' IPs and e-cital.net is as a result mis-reported as a "blackhole." Unless you're planning to spam pornography, you're in no danger.

Also, Heidi put listen.php as the streaming site.

The correct link is

http://www.ecital.net/present.php

Hope you enjoy these outstanding recordings!

Stay safe.

As a follow-up, here is Google's malware detection's assessment of ecital.net:

Completely safe.

My goodness! I have every reason to love this site!

Join the fun! We'll be taking submissions for Liszt very soon!

Thanks! I would actually love to join in the fun. What all should I know about this and when it's taking place?

Check HERE for more information about the Liszt e-cital. I'm keeping a list here of participants with a final submission date of October 22 (Liszt's 200th birthday)

Is there going to be an Unsung Heroes III this year?

Hi wr, and greetings to all!

Great minds must think alike, wr, because I was just wondering the same thing. Even though I don't have time to participate on PW as much as I would like, Unsung Heroes is near and dear to my heart. I would be glad to organize it.

Our tech guru, gerg, just took a new job and is very busy... so I will contact him and ask if he has the time to help us out. If so, let's do it!

If not, I have a Plan B, so start browsing obscure scores

Excellent!!
