"THE American shipwreck dirge" is by far my favorite explanation from any list. Also, huge points for The Trees. Great song
ReplyDeleteMozart?! Steve I never knew.

Sure Mozart!:) Also I have to say the Kashmir video was the best I could find after a hour or so of looking, apparently low quality video is the norm at Ren fairs. They are VERY good live.

As I listen to classical music I can't help but have silly cartoons intrude now and again. Bugs Bunny and company were notorious. I bet classical musicians just cringed!
