Thanks Jim for the link. Looks like there is some nice classical music there. I think I'll make a Liszt. You'll be Bach for more. Once I get a Handel on it. |

If you're Abel to, you can have a Field day and you'll be Offenbach.
Ah-my-dios! Not crying Wolf but please excuse my German.

Reminds me of the famous organist, E. Power Biggs. He got to play and record on the exact organ that G. F. Handel played and he made this comment: " I got to handle the handles that Handel handled".
I always thought that was cleverly put. Wish I could have come up with it, but alas, the only instrument I can play is a radio.  |

Music nut check!
"What is the best toccata and fugue track ever laid?" IMHO... flaws and all... gives it character
Hint it's from a 1970s sc-fi movie soundtrack...

 E. Power Biggs playing the Toccata and Fugue in d on four organs simultaneously with the thunderous roar of four pedal divisions under his feet in SACD surround!!! ...or did you have something else in mind? |

I really surprised at the number of preteens who have apparently saved enough of their lawn mowing money to be in a position to buy any pre/pro much less the UMC-1 that they are now complaining about.
