  • James of Thames says:

    It may require four people to do Sebastian Bach’s job.

  • El Grillo says:

    Is it too much to mention that Bach actually was a COMPOSER, and no, this consequently is NOT for his old job, unless we would do without all the music that is already there, which I don’t think is going to disappear? Not even given 21th century “etiquette.”
