As a medical student, I read that Vlasch once considered experimental surgery. Could you explain his reasons?
… A German physician-inventor had convinced Vlasch to have his right arm replaced with this mechanical appendage, claiming that his bass playing would be improved by several orders of magnitude. Vlasch’s perfectly good arm was spared when the doctor was arrested the night before the operation for malpractice. Specifically, for sewing dog noses onto volunteers to help them sniff out the enemy. ………………………………………………………….. While in Toronto, I attended a lecture whose subject was the influence of Tomcha & Vlasch upon contemporary poetry and lyrics. The speaker claimed that the poem, “In Flanders Fields” by the Canadian author: Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae was inspired by a previous poem by them. Could you reprint the original poem? …Our research has not been able to substantiate this. Whether or not McCrae was influenced by one of their poems or lyrics remains a mystery. Nevertheless, “In Flanders Fields” is reprinted below.
