I tend to avoid the Carnegie Hall website, because I just get depressed and feel sorry for myself. . . .Patrick J.

I thought you couldn't go because of rehearsals. Didn't they just have a gala? How many can you have in a month? I honestly looked at the program and thought, well, some of it I'm sick of/indifferent to but there's a fair amount I haven't heard, plus there's Dawn!, so I'll give it a chance.
