Upstairs? They’re not on the top?

That would improve the experience for me. I often miss those subtle nuances.

Another broadcast from the symphony hall of the University of Southern North Dakota at Hoople.

My first reaction was Statler and Waldorf from the Muppets.

The discussion reminded me of the Bob Elliot and Ray Goulding “play-by-play” commentary on the first movement of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony.
