If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead

That's bulljive. Especially when it is Rach 2. You should have the option of a refund for that performance. I'm sure there is a valid reason this is occurring, but it is not what you bought. |

Scotch *is* whisky. I've never heard of the substitute, so, I'll say that this is like swapping scotch for light beer bad. |

Fulla-Carp

I suppose I wouldn't miss a Rach 2 live even if offered a refund. Cover bands often sound almost as good in the moment, just don't compare to the real deal. |

Rachmaninov is dead. Every artist playing a dead composer's music is a cover artist. |

I'd still go. Some pianists have become famous after they stood in for a famous pianist. |

Horowitz was a last minute fill in for the Hamburg Orchestra. The soloist (for Rach 3, I believe) got a stomach bug an hour beforehand. One of the musicians remembered hearing a Piano play at a Biergarten playing it a week before. They ran down to the hall, and their he was. |
