    A heart full of burgeoning, hot blooded emotion and no otherwise safe place to let it flow, Remy set himself with scarcely bridled reverence before the concert grand and let loose. Body and long, slender fingers let loose. The arpeggios, begun in the bass on each successive key in chromatic fashion, evolved into cascading fluidity, splashing fountains of water shimmering in the sunlight. Or the moonlight, depending on the day's hour and the hearer's mood and frame of reference.

    A young composer with clever technique and a predetermined, clear-cut goal, was listening from the back of the school auditorium as the fire and ice of the simple but mesmerizing broken chords alternately thundered and whispered from the ebony case of the intimidating black dragon. Other students, too, were listening ...

    A musical match in the making: Wingate's Sonata for Violin and Piano in A Major.

    Professor Avers - cellist and instructor - was kindly, sympathetic and, perhaps most importantly, useful.

    Useful to the young composer's ends. Particularly so if Win decided to fashion his violin sonata into a trio. Additionally, Avers was totally apprised of the smaller stringed instrument's personality and sensitive workings. What final form the sonata should take remained to be seen and heard. This depended upon the manner in which the musical winds should blow. All under the figurative conductor's baton. He is the man, the plotter, who controls his own life and that of the poor souls in his thrall.

    There were no doubts in the violinist's high-minded modus operandi that his work would succeed on all levels: critically, publicly, financially. He was already grooming his small band of loyal but less than worldly-wise followers - fellow students - to perform preordained tasks on his royal behalf. Win was talented, extraordinarily good-looking and savvy in all the ways necessary to achieve his triumph. He was genetically disposed toward flourish and self-appointed entitlement, though, as of yet, unaware whence came all his genes.

    All things, all groupies, all well-wishers in his small but estimable cadre of loyalists were primed to do his bidding. This at Wingate's cleverly plotted instance more so than at their initial response to be helpful to the genius emerging onto the world's musical horizon.

    Not all, though, were blind, infatuated followers of the charismatic musical evangelist.

    This is pointless.

    A PG-rated Erato. Ten years of celibacy will unhinge one Win.

    ROFL!

    Now, that's the CoCo I know and love!

    How about 17 years?

    I've got plenty to keep me busy; these hot flashes will dampen anyone's ardor, so I manage.

    Besides, there are no suitable males around.

    LOL again.

    Thanks, Syl, for that fitting rejoinder. You gotta maintain those high standards!

    I'm off now to scrub toilets and practice sublimation.

    I'm a good boy. I'm a good boy ... I make people cry....

    Hasta Manana!
