Pardon my expression but that is one bad A$% lady...

Rest in Peace and Thank You Frances

Thanks for the note about Lloyd.

Oddly, a sub-head told me that Michael Tree has passed. Perhaps the most notorious violist of recent times. I "worked with him"; pressed REC and once opened the door for him. Sorry to see him gone.
