Great stuff guys. You are the greatest!

Just to finish off the day with some final fun before I retire:

Remember the movie "Amadeus?" ya know; that Mozart guy?

Well, there's a cool part in that movie that just might, in some dreamy way, apply to this scenario.

You might need to take a look at movie to join in the fun here, but when it comes to the part where Mozart realizes that the Emperor has canceled his opera, he meets up with Salieri, the designated court composer to the Emperor to express his indignation.

Salieri, being in total awe of Mozart's gift of music and a jealous one as well, sort of convinces Mozart that he is on his side and tells him that he knows why the Emperor canceled Mozart's opera.

Salieri: I can speak for the Emperor:

"You make too many demands on the royal ear.
The poor man can't concentrate for more than one hour.
You gave him four!"

"TOO MANY NOTES!" (quote from the Emperor)

It's now available in CD format (two discs) which includes twenty minutes that were chopped out of the original TV version. The sound in greatly enhanced and the picture quality is amazing.

Keep intoned.

Cheers,

RJ.
