I hope to see more of you in the future.-- Peter cohen ( talk) 13:16, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia and thanks for your additions to the article.
Personally, I find that a long string of an online copy from the URL rather off-putting, since it tells no one about the author, publication, date, etc.
So, I ammended your a couple of your ref links to follow this pattern:
< ref > - then a bracket [ then the http:// etc etc. Leave a space and then follow with author, publication, whatever...followed by a closing bracket ] and then the < /ref > (I'm using spaces here around the "ref" so you can see the contents)
You'll see that it looks a lot better and is more informative.

Hi. I came upon the above article and have made some additions. A few things that you may not have absorbed yet:
As you'll see from my username, I ought to have been listening to the radio on Saturday, but I was at the Buxton Festival watching Mignon. Best. -- Guillaume Tell 17:18, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
