Is the internet making us lazy, or is this a normal human social interaction? The best version of Moonlight Sonata I ever heard was in a RD box set... Oh looky! I found it all by myself: :-) |

It has only 14 cuts on it. I used to pick up Reader's Digest collections cheap in the used records stores. They'd typically have 4 CDs of music by well-known artists. It was a good way to make a collection of my favorite classical music, and I believe they had similar collections of top-40 music by the original artists. -Joe- |
