..attendance. He hopes his presence will attract the attention of many thoughtful investors, patrons and connoisseurs of such wonderful resources as the arts, good hearing and a lovely cup of fair trade tea.
Here are a few of my previous statements of relevance:

Musicians with integrity, like other performing artists, usually prefer my own invitations to those associated with the World Economic Forum in Davos or nationalistic business interests. Great performance is something I support wholeheartedly, like fair trade tea drinking and fair world rethinking. I do hope a certain knight of a realm agrees with me.
Recordings and amplified live performances of music can often be sharp on the ears. Lord Menuhin of Stoke d'Abernon, for example, stated his views on the aforementioned knight's musicianship as follows:
...In 1976 I received word that one hundred tickets to the Stones' opening performance at Earl's Court were at my disposal to be sold as a benefit for my school. I felt this would be the right time to see what the Stones were like, and I did want to thank them for their gesture. We arrived at Earl's Court behind schedule, when the warm-up groups were finishing. I had already been told a good deal about the atmosphere surrounding the Stones, what kind of people they were. We arrived in great style in the huge black car which had been provided for us, driving right into the garage behind Earl's Court where we joined other cars of like extravagance. Though we were some distance from the hall, I heard what sounded to me like a premonition of hell...

It seems to me, however, that the knight in question expresses views of party politics similar to those expressed by the other musician regarding rock music. The knight has not yet stated his views concerning the Mozarty Party, though I am sure he aspires to be an advocate of world peace, like Lord Menuhin and myself, and many of my party and Party guests.
Music, economics and politics have frequently been discussed as male concerns in the past, as suggested by the title of the work co-authored by the lord whose comments I have quoted above. Like many musicians who found fame and fortune in the 20th century, such as himself and the knight, he was able to attract media attention for causes he espoused, and to encourage others to eschew issues, concerts, concerns and opinions he opposed.
If you are a musician yourself, do you have any opinions regarding world enlightenment, world peace, tea and politics?
