BRUCE , YOU ARE A MAN OF GOOD TASTE and very varied taste at that . You like classical music and also AMERICAN country music . You like great art and amateur art . You and I are very much alike in this preference . Several years ago , I was in New York City and visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art . In one area , there were $billion$ of dollars worth of paintings by Rembrandt van Rijn , including " Man in a Golden Helmet " , 2 self portraits, and dozens of others . In another area was a temporary exhibit on loan from several collectors of the water color paintings of Andrew Wyeth . including " Land ' s End " ,
" Olson ' s Farm " and " Christina ' s World " . It was amazing to be there while such a huge assemblage of his artwork was on display , and to see original works of subjects I had only seen pictures of . WONDERFUL .
