I'm glad to hear of all these pleasant things. The pie sounds delicious.

Has anyone ever set Edwin Arlington Robinson's "Miniver Cheevy" to music? It really is one of my favorite poems. I am aware that I write this while listening to a sixteenth-century lute galliard.

I can _almost_ hear an air for it, but I'd have to change some of the phrasings slightly to make it fit. I can't think what the air is at the moment, but I've no gift for composing so it's probably something already out there which I'm having no luck at putting a name to. I'll see if I can find some time to think on it tomorrow.

Lutz Kirchhof is good, isn't he? I've his recording of the Bach lute suites somewhere--should listen to it.
