: Mr. Sanders...
: Forgive if I'm being rude, but just thought you should be getting some sleep... Especially as a member of the CSO...
: As for your question...
: I haven't had a chance to meet them, but I've heard numerous stories and just know as a fact that Yo-Yo is somewhat kinder than Starker, at least on the outside. Besides, a friend of mine knows Starker personally.
I didn't have a service with the CSO this morning, so I was up late last night. How about you?
How do you know "as a fact" that Ma is kinder than Starker?
I only comment on this because I know there are many cellists who have a misconception about Starker.
He's been very kind to me, while Ma has not been kind to me (I'm not saying he's not a kind person.)
Starker has been very kind to many 100's of cellists that he has been envolved with.
I won't deny that he can also be a bit abrupt at times!
