                        Beethoven Messageboard

                        Since the death of my wife two years ago I have often said that one of my best friends is a cantankerous, deaf old German who died some 200 years ago. It would appear that he is also very special to a lot of like minded people in this world. So may I wish all of you many happy years continued listening.
