not this time, thank-you

received this year's concert programme from "musica viva", melbourne's toney chamber music forum. thought it very broad-minded of them to find room for a gentile on their mailing list. shows an optimistic outlook. a sunny disposition. in hoping someone besides jews will subscribe to the upkeep of high culture in melbourne. bravo.

unfortunately the culture isn't so very high. the programme is a scratch lot (some of it by australian composers, which is unconscionable). have no interest in hearing any "classical" music written after "rhapsody in blue". it's junk. film scores are much better.

so this year "include me out", as sam goldwyn said.
