    Happy birthday, Jimmie, and many very fond memories. Happy days, long ago, in the old Free Trade Hall, RFH and other places.

    Loughran is a prime example of an admirable if underrated conductor, something this first class Pastoral demonstrates.

    Another candle on that cake Jimmie! I sincerely hope that you are well and can enjoy your special day… with a glass of scotch! I have SO many terrific memories of the times you came here to conduct our orchestra in The Netherlands… SO many gut wrenching laughs we had together with you and Ludi. Take care my friend…
