Hello Dr. Kalve,

I like it.

I don't think that has anything to do, at this point, with the program, because I don't know in detail what that is, or even if it is supposed to have a detailed relationship with events, or be evocative of the climate. No matter. When I was told that Dvorak's "New World" Symphony was worth listening to, I took my next check for carrying out groceries and went across the street to the record shop. I took it home and played it without reading the notes. I don't know what "New World" suggested, if anything, but I remember being surprised when I did read the notes and found out what the sub-title referred to. As interesting as the information was, however, the effect of the music never changed.

All I can say now is that, like the Dvorak before reading the record notes, I like it and am hoping to hear the remaining 4 sections.

all best,
