    He should get together with Darling Dyle, Concertmaster of the Murcia Symphony Orchestra in Spain!

    Maybe Finnegan could host a wake for the cast after “Die Tote Stadt”.

  • Stuart says:

    Cue all the Blackadder Jokes from Goes Forth: “Hello Darling” etc…

  • Maria says:

    So much for American maestro titles!

  • SVM says:

    Very funny, but I was under the impression that “Downie” was part of the maestro’s surname, so it should be “Maestro Downie Dear”. And, by the way, bravo!

  • Barry Guerrero says:

    . . . a Downie softner, so to speak.
