Well, I now know what "La Wally" is. I didn't recognize the name, but I
definitely recognize the music.

He wore that last year too for the exhibition, and at that time I remember
him wearing it before, so I will have to dig out my tape.

I've always hoped that Toller and Emanuel would collaborate (I have that
hope for Toller and Rudy too), and I guess the costume is the first step.
It's one of Toller's better costumes, I didn't like the pale blue one he
did for Brain Orser a few years ago. At least he didn't "dip him in black"
:-).
