The one consolation is that at least Duke is doing much better this year
than last!!!
For that we can all be grateful.

Because when one listen's to Mozart, one is hearing the Voice of God sans words.

The purpose of TC is the same as (interestingly) following a great
basketball team like Duke or listening to the wondrous music of little
Wolfgang.  One does such things for the pure pleasure of discovery and the
enjoyment of the very important work of others.  TC is, when done right, as
exciting as a double overtime or a Mozart overture.
