Hi,

Finally managed to hear and see the radio show. I'm glad you changed the weekday because it means I can hear it on my day off.

Hesse has always been one of my favourites, especially the Glass Bead Game, and Narziss and Goldmund.

I got to see what a washtub bass is at last, too. Very similar to an Oz tea-chest bass - only the object used for the soundbox is changed but the way it's made and how it works looks exactly the same.
