Wow Bernie, that is an interesting side story for sure! How was he in person, 
and or as a teacher? Ever think about getting that 7" LP into an MP3 file or 
something similar? I'd love to hear that (as I'm sure a few of us here would) 
That was a funny way for him to tell you to head in a different direction, 
lol... did he smile and wink as he gave it to you? :-) You've always said 
you've had bad eye sight correct?

I've got the 1st edition US (released in 1963) copy of Koch's 1938  

book, done with Julian Huxley and which includes a virtually pristine  

copy of the 7" LP record. It was a present to me from the late Ansel  

Adams, who, when he handed it to me at the conclusion of one of his  

Yosemite photo classes that I attended, said that I should stick to  

sound.  Fascinating stuff especially since he speculates in the text  

about the voices of ants and smaller organisms although he didn't have  

the gear to record those critters, then.
