If you have a basic familiarity with Classical movement, it's funny, and the more in depth knowledge you have, the funnier it is, with the stolen bits of music, etc. There was a PDQ Bach mini concert at UConn in the mid 1970's, and I attended that with my freind Tom from the band, and Jack who built and played the Harpsichord; we were in hysterics!Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-62335291492791651122017-02-18T13:11:55.341-05:002017-02-18T13:11:55.341-05:00I do like the basing scheme for these troops - abo...I do like the basing scheme for these troops - about a elaborate as I am ever likely to get!Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-17069328508776200792017-02-18T13:10:52.743-05:002017-02-18T13:10:52.743-05:00Thank you, Jon.
