A very belated happy new year

Hello everyone,

I have not written anything for a while as I have been busy with other matters.

As you may know, this year 2005 is the 60th anniversary of Bela Bartok's death. I do not know what the local classic FM radio will have in stall for commemorating this anniversary which is on 26th September 2005. After Bartok's death, 'The New York Times' published an obituary. I will obtain that from the net and reproduce it here in my blog.

Also welcome to the Bela Bartok Yahoo Group members who may be reading this blog for the first time. A query was recently raised within the the group about 'What is a Blog'. Well here is my blog dedicated to the memory of Bela Bartok.

I have changed my mind about showing photos of Bela Bartok. I now have quite a collection so I will publish them in my blog from now on. I will start with Bartok as a child to his late 20's. After that, some of my photos may be out of sequence as I do not know when some of them were taken.
If any one has a photo of Marta Ziegler, Bela Bartok's first wife, could you please let me know through the Yahoo Group. I have not been able to find one on the net.

I am also updating photos of myself as the old portrait photo is now 7 years old. It was part of a set taken when I commenced employment with Sydney Hospital back in 1998. I hope you will like my new photos.

I will write more when I next become inspired to do so.
