Today Scott and I paid a visit to the largest public library west of the Mississippi, that of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. here in San José. Within this monolithic sanctuary of knowledge resides the largest collection of Ludwig Van Beethoven memorabilia outside of Europe at the Ira F. Brilliant Center for Beethoven Studies. Amidst the wealth of arcane and morbid artifacts, this singular exhibit houses a clavichord, a harpsichord, and two glorious fortepianos! After an impromptu concert given by us Shoguns the management graciously offered to let us record with these instruments whenever we find the center unoccupied... so keep out! And listen hard to any upcoming OCR releases for a glimmer of these rare and beautiful contraptions!
