Robert Schumann never heard his cello concerto composed in 1850 and it languished for 50 years before a young Pablo Casals championed it and played it often during his long career. The YouTube is a link to a recording of Casals with Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra. 

I'm now "clipped and shorn" after a visit to Great Clips at Limestone Crossing, next to the dermatologist office where Katherin (spelling on the receipt), born in Salisbury, Md, whose been in Delaware for the last 6 years, cut my hair. She likes to use scissors to do a haircut (does a better job than clippers, a more natural look) and she did a nice job ($21 plus $4 dollar tip).
