Day 078: Three days, three world-class horn players
Day 78
— Three days, three world-class horn players
19-October-1971 (Tues.)
I've said it many times. Vienna is the city of music. In just three consecutive days, I see two solo horn concerts and an orchestra concert for a grand total of hearing three world-class horn players.

I'm not certain if that last part worked, and so I take it upon myself to speak with them on a first-name basis.
That would be Herman, Barry, and Alan.
