[Fmpro] Opera

[bipcress@comcast.net]

Thank you very much for the wonderful suggestions Marinho. I count your 
gesture as a sign of friendship and I am honored. / Holy crap - along with 
being a skilled composer you've conducted Mozart at Julliard? I am worthy to 
sit at your feet. I'm sorry but such accomplishments I hold in very high 
regard. - JohnB
