Nothing is as effective as homeopathy.

I'd rather listen to an hour of Abba than an hour of The Beatles.

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.

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.

Are they Russian? They better be Russian! Otherwise, It's Cultural Appropriation!

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.
