Not naming names.

Maybe not of any interest to you, but I'll try to explain why this is so funny: I follow a course at the conservatory of Utrecht with Frank de Munnik which is called American Music, Art and Culture. Your confessions tour fits perfect in that subject so I'll come to the concert tomorrow in Utrecht (still not a funny story untill now, I know). I'm following a course music journalism as well and that's why I'll write a critic tomorrow about your concert but don't worry, I've only had a few lessons and I'm still pretty bad in clearly saying what I think and feel. Just before I came to your website (I wanna be well prepared for tomorrow) I was reading the critics of a fellow student on the concert of ... (here it comes) the Concerto Copenhagen and the Lets Radiokoor which was in Utrecht yesterday! How different is it to you to write a good and clear critic on a concert, we can learn a lot of your writing skills, while I actually expect(ed) to learn from your music. We'll see, tomorrow...!\n\nBest wishes,\nImke Wow, this is really funny.

Diplomacy leaves a lot to be desired in situations like this. How are they going to know their service is a fail if no-one tells them? Be the one :) (When I worked in retail, I told one customer he looked like a Village People reject with our clothes on. He laughed, my manager didn't... but he appreciated the honesty.)

I love his St. Matthew from the early 70s with Fischer-Dieskay, Berry, Ludwig, Janowitz, Schreier and the BPO. Totally not 'comme il faut' anymore, but it still gets me every time.

Are you guys going to release the other 12ish songs some other way, like on youtube or a CD? I love the confessions stuff up on the tube already.

But it's just so addictive. Have a nice time in the Lowlands. Customer service in London is much worse. The tea people here don't even know what good coffee has to taste like... See you soooooon.

I am curious to see and hear the Confessions next Saturday. I hate to say it as a Dutchman but service in Dutch restaurants/cafes is rather poor. :( Good Luck with the Tour!
