We have a number of shops that sell musical instruments. We don't have a
really good source for sheet music, I'll grant you that one.

That's what I was thinking of - see, not only do people read your posts,
some of us recall them as well. ;-)

We used to have Chappell of Bond Street - but for no defined reason,
they shut down a couple of years back. (But they sent me a letter
telling me I can still visit them at Bond Street. I'm like, WTF? Why
would I drive to London to visit you? And how do you know where I live??)
Now we have a few shops that sell musical instruments, and most of them
will sell you "Complete Guitar for Beginners" or "Flute, Grade 5". But
if you wanted, say, Bach's Prelude #17 in D#... sorry.
PS. I have no idea what key the 17th prelude is *actually* in. I haven't
memorised them all yet. Sorry.

It is! And you should meet us there too. In London somewhere, (not sure
when or where yet, but I'll be staying at my Sister's place in London, and
then I'm gonna sneak out and meet Stephen for a few hours or four, or five,
or... ;)
Ah, just come and meet us, we don't bite do we Stephen? ;)

So would I. That would have been very interesting. I kinda liked him for
the person he was.

You probably got signed up on a mailing list somewhere. But they
probably shut down because they couldn't sustain the business.
