    ..Despite last evening's suggestion of one of your colleagues at The Babylon, I refuse to mail my enthusiasm to Charles and Camilla ;o)) - I rather guess, this may be the right place, since you seem to have done all the research in film archives to make this concept work...It was a fantastic experience, and I enjoyed your music and thoughtful highlights so very much - moreover, the female influence on the performance/choice of material/comments added an important, humorous and charming touch here and there, without being dead-serious or fist-clenching...unless...for self-defense ;o)) !
    Many thanks and virtual flowers from Berlin, again -
