        One thing about the LUG, among many others, is that there is no
shortage of thoughtful topics, not always about Leica cameras.  I don't
listen to much Von Karajan either, mainly because I don't care that much for
his performances, but the Furtwangler Beethoven 9th is nirvana.  IMHO.  And,
there is Artur Schnabel, who can trace his teachers to Beethoven through
Liszt, who was Wagner's father-in-law.  I would say, if they can produce
great music, let them be.
