[ATM] Music?

[Berthold Hamburger]

Aren't any of you listening to classical music anymore. While you are
wondering what will become of our hobby in 50 years, I am wondering what
will become of my profession in 50 years...

I look at our weekly audience and my prognosis is to have a maximum of 25%
occupied seats left in 25 years. Fortunately, I will have retired by then.

How about some display of solidarity in memory of great scientists like
Herschel, Hubble and Einstein and play some Beethoven, Bruckner or even the
planets from Holst at your next public starparty. As an extra attraction you
can even throw in some Zaratustra as a special treat for our Scifi addicts

That said, I have to admit a profound affinity for the music of Pink Floyd,
Genesis and Led Zeppelin, "echoes" being one of my all time favourites for
many occasions including observing.

Berthold
