Hi Max,

Thanks for playing FROGS and for your support of new music on Martian Garderns (even if it's a quarter century old)!

Hmmm...I make the composition year, 1975, over a quarter century, and the performance on this CD, 1992, under a quarter century, so on average...
I've broadcast this Concerto a few times before finding it only gets better with age!

My apologies to Richard Teitelbaum for leaving his name of the credits for the MEV piece; I've corrected the entry.
