So, Supertopo doesn't have a big early music crowd? (Duh! Darwin).
Oh well. I guess I'll go bolt Double Cross and the Green Arch. Actually even when I was young and more fit, Touch and Go gave me problems, so it's next on the list.

Franz Brüggen... Now that's not a name I was ever expecting to see on SuperTaco...
My father gave me a recorder when I was eight years old. I carried it everywhere and played it constantly. By the time I was 18, I thought I was pretty good with it. If I could think it, I could play it. I used to play my recorder on the streets around UC Berkeley late at night.
Franz Brüggen was like a god to me. I had the entire set of his Telefunken recordings, Das Alte Werk, and I did my best to learn everything I could from listening to them. His recording of Christopher Tye's "In Nomine ('Cyre') a 5" was (and is) the most amazing thing I ever heard played on a recorder.
Brüggen showed up with Sour Cream in Berkeley to put on a concert at a church. Maybe it was First Congregational, at the corner of Dana and Durant? That was almost 40 years ago... I went to see him, and could never make myself pick up my recorder after that. I didn't feel worthy to say I played the same instrument.
