  2. Thank you Yun-ming for these posts. Could I ask you why do you use scientific names of trees and plants as passwords?

  3. I honestly think that Frederick Fennell's recordings of Sousa's music with the Eastman Rochester Wind Ensemble are among the top ten orchestral recordings ever issued. They are, in a word, "perfect." I have very eager to see what Prof. Fennell's current thoughts are on this music.

    YM: Unfortunately, we can only imagine what his thoughts 'are', Maestro Fennell has passed on (December 7, 2004).
