Re: That's dark and deep, my friend!
". . surely your fellow music aficionados would miss your sumptuous feasts."
Yes, they would miss those - but that would be the extent of it.
During my 30 years exile from the group, it grew, and then dwindled. By time Jon Lackey died and I could be invited back, it was severely depleted from deaths, severe health issues, moves and poverty.
Jon Stringer, who had run the music program during my exile, had a stroke from which he never recovered, and died just after Jon Lackey died. Fortunately his wife got tired of selling off his music collection, and I have acquired what remains, about 2800 CDs. Add my 400 or so and it's a substantial collection.
Now, if only more of the Music Group regulars were actually interested in music . . .
Of the regulars remaining, several are "intellectuals" - a polite synonym for "looser". One is a crazy cat lady, a couple are total flakes, most are distracted by severe financial and health issues - and so it goes with this motley crew.
In conclusion, I fully expect to outlive the lot of them.
