I think people are too busy buning Frank's book.

Pure fantasy. Why do you think we invented whisky? (Arguably, to make us

I think it's a must have for frame #6. I'm set on the GC3 brass (for all
your Tangerine Dreanm, Hours Of E-Minor needs), Boys Choir (for my
planned recording, 'Have A Castrati Christmas') so the #3 spot is open.
I *was* thinking about French Horns but the Strings Of Suffering are
likely to edge them out.

You're alone, but for entirely different reasons.
