[f_minor] Not Gould but ...

[Jason Blake]

Very quickly....naturally I just deleted the Schiff lectures from my 
computer after confirming that, yup, they're all online anyway.
If I can somehow relocate those first three lectures, I'll see how I can 
send them to you.
I was slightly surprised at how much personality Schiff has; I've seen 
him perform once and heard him in Schubert, which he makes dull.
Darn. Again I didn't hit "reply all."
Cheers,
Jason
