A small world indeed .... we may even get around to Alan Fearnley's emporium shortly. Window's classical section has survived better than the jazz - I think Robert has left and along with him the great selection and fabulous advice - a real shame

One of my favourite places - Windows in Newcastle was good as was Hamiltons in Middlesbrough, but Banks was truly an Aladdin's Cave for sheet music - very similar feeling walking into the jazz section at Tower Records in London for the 1st time or J&R in NYC for that matter. Great though the www is, I do think that the fact that "everything is available" now denies us that frisson of discovery .... Even more OT, but Bev - can you tell me what was the Vaughan Williams so admired by Trotter and Harding in the Rotters Club ? I've lent the book out so can't look it up ! Cheers
