Gerard Schwartz's performance of the Haydn Trumpet Concerto, with original cadenza. Mozart. Everything. Bach. Chopin. Stravinsky. Prokofiev. Alb\ufffdniz. Haydn. ... Maria Callas singing (most any) aria. Amelita Galli-Curci singing anything. Reginald Kell playing anything for clarinet. Wynton Marsalis playing anything classical. ('Jazz' is a term as individualized in meaning - as any religious dogma is) Bix Beiderbecke - playing anything. Maynard Ferguson playing [what else] Shorty Rogers's composition, Maynard, with the Stan Kenton orchestra. Brubeck.. Take Five, Kathy's Waltz Beatles' Abbey Road (True-color snapshot from a now-dead actually Hopeful era) Willie Nelson's Stardust Billie Holliday. Audrey Hepburn's Moon River (version liked best by the composer, as well) Rafael Mendez - Mexican trumpet writ Large. Harry Belafonte. Opera, Flamenco, String quartets and all chamber music. Sousa's Band - sitting or marching. Arthur Pryor on trombone and Herbert L. Clarke on cornet. Phillip McCann - contemporary UK 'colliery' cornet player + dozens of Colliery Bands past and present. Oh well. So little time. So much to have missed, still. A. Edited by Missing User 70 Nov. 3, 2001, 02:37:30 PM EST Expand All History

My picks were both philosophy and lifestyle, not sheer enjoyment. Chuck Aznavour is a class entertainer, Nana Mouskouri, Buffy Ste. Marie, John Lee Hooker, So many so little time. thanx, bill tshirt front "born to die before I get old" thshirt back "fscked another one didnja?"

Goes for about nine minutes I think, but doesn't really feel like it at all. On and on and on and on, and on and on and on goes John.
