Ken,

Send it along to me and I'll get Vicki to translate it for you. Besides
being a great flutist, she's fluently bilingual.

Speaking of my wife, Denis Keldie and I have been working on the new
flute sounds recently and we need about an hour more of studio time to
finish things off. The recordings have turned out very well (very little
dicking around will be need on these, Martin!) So everyone can look
forward to a fantastic bass flute voice as well as flute choir featuring
bass, alto, C and Eb flutes available soon from a Streetly outlet near
you.

Speaking of which, there has been a rumour going around that Streetly is
considering opening their first North American "big box" store in San
Diego this coming spring. The rumour is also going around that it will
include a language lab where Martinge will be leading sessions teaching
interested North Americans how to speak cockney as well as Dick Van Dyke
does, maybe even better. I know it's hard to believe, but he claims he
can do it. What will be next you ask? Maybe Mike Dickson lecturing on
"Why the British Monarchy is so important to Scottish Culture"...

Maybe the canned music in the store will be done using Ted Taylor choir?
I don't know about anyone else, but I would LOVE to hear this.
