    Are you tired of LISTS ?

    Well,I am! I am 'guilty' of starting lists of 10 quintets etc but at least we all learned from them.

    I rather dislike:

    Tuesday on R3's Classical Charts.



    Howard Goodall's 50 works that changed the course of history [just 50?]

    100 Influential Women

    CFM's Hall of Fame

    etc,etc, Any more and I shall have started a LIST. It just seems slapdash lazy
    programming to me.

      I know a certain Brother of the Coif who is tired of LISZT.

        Great for interactivity both here and on R3, of course and as you say, cheap!

        My favourites tend to change hourly - except Battenburg cake, to which I am devoted

          Ah vino collapso, how splendid!

          Wasn't it on the score of Alassio that Elgar wrote of his Italian holiday "wine and spaghetti!"?

            How lucky, I have some Battenburg cake which I shall enjoy with a cuppa soon.

                  Well, if you refer to me Thropple, I am an insomniac and listening the TtN recently the Brucker 8 did sound rather good. And I just may have mentioned it on 'What are you listening to' etc.

                  You can't get away with anything here, itseems.

                    The gentle ribbing was directed at AG for picking up on such irrelevancies, Saly, not you.

                        Saly, as a birdwatcher I'm afraid I'm addicted to lists....life, Europe, UK.....

                              So the prefect solution would be the B Minor Sonata in cafe Gerbeaud then

                              A Gerbeaud legenda Kugler Henrikkel kezdődött 160 éve.
