As silly as it was, I remember that concert and that whole summer especially fondly. I will also never forget Burak's cell phone going off during a Scheherezade concert. It was in his little bag, and he let it ring for about 2 minutes, it seemed like. <br /><br />It seems strange now, but at the time cell phones were something fairly exotic to me - all European musicians seemed to have them, but like most Americans I was still a little behind. That was the first summer I remember encountering that now-everyday occurrence, the unwanted and annoying cell phone ring. Often it was Wolfgang Guettler's phone, too. <br /><br />Thanks again for posting this! Thanks for bringing back some great memories!
