I didn't know of Omus' passing away and it saddens me to think of him having Alzheimer's . He was a good colleague, exchanging views and ideas. His words quoted have meaning today. In the 1960's Mr. Colbert showed me the minutes of the Friends of Music at Town Hall from the 1930's...same problems in the '60's...same problems in the '90's. Somehow we survive. My "concert party" series began in the '60's and continued underground for more than 20 years. People will find a way, just as the Friends of Music did in the '30's. Thanks to people like Omus and now James Conlon and many others who make us think and take stock. Thank you for this column.
