Dear Margaret,

Will there be any audio or video recordings for us poor rabbits who  
can't cross oceans and continents to be there?
And who is doing the readings? These will also be interesting as there  
are so few contemporary renderings of the poetry.
I say that if somebody bothers to be there with a digital voice  
recorder might succeed in giving us at least an inkling. For the music  
one would need more professional equipment, I guess.
