Guests unwittingly subjected to a brain cleansing, not once but twice, by Mado's shrilly-shattery B flat from Spargi and Les oiseaux. Colliding circles do little to dampen conviviality. But as is usual with any group larger than two, I never get in the desired amount of get-togetherness with each individual person. And never the proper...closure. I go to bed, sufficiently nostalgic to be unable to sleep, wondering if I would have been better served by keeping my selves discrete.
