Now, from the point of view of the host:

You buy a dozen rolls, a bit more butter, ham and cheese that usual, let some people use your rooms for their sleeping bags and all you get back is two beautiful CDs, two tapes with music you have looked for for a long while, a bottle of wine, money for your daughter's money-box, two more presents, and the best evening you have had for a long time...

Thanks folks for having been here and greetings from Petra and Sophie.

There are many things from this weekend I will never forget. Here's a tiny bit which for a change has nothing to do with music: When we were in Muenster cathedral the local guide hearing the English voices asked me whether I had already shown my guests the stone from Coventry Cathedral. Now it was about my tenth time in Muenster cathedral and I hadn't seen this stone before. Muenster and Coventry cathedral have both been thorougly destroyed by air raids during the last war. They've swapped stones of the destroyed cathedrals after the war and so there is one big stone from Coventry Cathedral that has been used in the rebuilding of Muenster cathedral and vice versa.
