Geoff, I, too, am a big classical music fan. I don't think of myself as being a snob; however, no music compares to classical (used broadly here, but I know we understand each other).

I also enjoyed that old recording of "Mariah." Haunting and melliflous with that driving undercurrent of rhythm that captured the movement of a wind. Thanks for Tess and Joe.

Best regards,
WW
