Gratulacje! Dziecko miłości i muzyki!

Dear Alfor
Many thanks, and how did you learn your Polish? I'm trying, now...

Here's an interesting article by Philip Hensher about the death of classical music.

Congratulations Jonathan and Mrs. Jonathan and whose fingers does baby Mark have?

Hensher is a paid journalist so even if he knows what's right, he will take money to write what's wrong... years ago I would go out for drinks with him and Tom Ades. Now they don't really recognise my existence -- but I don't really give a @#$%, ... they'll never have any babies

Now I could claim that my mother can speak, because she was born in Niedamowo (West-Prussia, south-west of Gdansk, then already polish), but to say the truth, she forgot most of her polish, but never lost her deep affection for the polish people - so please give your wife Irena my regards, although we haven't met.

He who pays the piper calls the tune! Personally, if Hensher is correct, I think
that the blame will reside firmly at the door of the @#$%ing avant gardists!
