        Oh, well, imitation _is_ the sincerest form of flattery, but if
you are brilliantly original, then you don't need to flatter (unless you
want to).  Even if I was a brilliantly original and famous musician, I
might well occasionally do a "piece in the style of" simply because it
was fun, though.

        But it would be much too dangerous to haul up the old thread:
"Are BOC imitating themselves, thesedays?" .... ;)
