pomposity? do we notice 'then'?

Hi Ann, all...



Well too...


Leaving aside a great many possible other observations...

I can think of at leat a hundred off-the-cuff scenarios/situations where the
Violinist and his cohorts in question would be just as oblivious or
indifferent or unappreciative or clueless to the presence of high or
remarkable essoterics, be they deeds, moments, dynamics, or artifacts...as
those many harried people appeared to have been...to, or of, his drama or
theatric and artifact...

If anything, his 'experiment' seemed pompous to me...if not smug.


What is the context, really? And for whom?

Who decides for whom what the context is?

Oye...


Love,

Phil
