 NB>> So far, there hasn't been a need to check it out, either, with a

 NB>> chamber music, or solo instuments...?

 DD> Not necessarily all full symphony stuff. Last evening I was on the way
 DD> home and Channel 67 (Real Jazz) was playing some very dissonant avant
 DD> garde(ish) stuff I didn't care for - so I flipped to Channel 4 (40s on
 DD> 4) but found Bob Eberle warbling something and moved over to Channel 76
 DD> (Symphony Hall) and was treated to Bach's Goldberg Variations on solo
 DD> piano. 

Ah... that's good to know...

 DD> I got in after the start so I am unsure who the piano picker

 DD> Hall. When I got home I sat in the car for a couple minutes just
 DD> listening ... but, didn't hang around to the end. So, without going to
 DD> the SXM web site and investigating the play list ... I still dunno who
 DD> was guilty of the nice music or from whence it came.  

Maybe some day we'll get satellite for the car... but it's not high on
the priority list... For now, I can still get good stations on the car
radio... and on trips, if I can't, I have some CDs to listen to to
bridge the gap....

 DD>> I enjoy the Grand March from Aida - but, that's about it.
 NB>> What about the Anvil Chorus from (I think) Traviata...?

 DD> I'm more familiar with Glenn Miller's version from the 40s on 4
 DD> channel. Miller recorded it in '42. The opera was Verdi's 1853 "Il
 DD> trovatore". He was also guilty of Aida.

Yes I knew they were both Verdi...  I think there are various
translations of the name...  
 
 DD>> I'm not big on Fiona Richey and her style of music ...
 NB>> Gaelic/Celtic music and bagpipes are part of my heritage... and I
 NB>> do quite enjoy them...

 DD> Mine as well - but, I don't have the rigid stick up my fundament that
 DD> she seemed to have the few times I listened. 

I never got that impression of her... she does have a fairly wide
selection of different aspects of Gaelic and Celtic music, along with
their cousins in Appalachia and Brittany...  :)  Sometimes she plays
more fusion music like celtic rock... some weeks I'm less happy with it
than others, but by and large it's one of my favorite shows...

 DD> Nothing like a lone piper doing Amazing Grace at a funeral to raise
 DD> the hair on the back of my neck. Which is why, when I snuff it,
 DD> there will be a Dixieland band doing "Didn't He Ramble" at my wake.
 
What gets me has always been the playing of Taps at a veteran's
funeral... my father's father was career Navy... he got Taps, and a gun
salute... that was neck-prickling...  Daddy, too... he stayed in the
Reserve for many years before retiring from there, so he got the
military honors, too...  

 NB>>> minimalist pieces...  Or hearing Vivaldi's 4 seasons too often, for
 NB>>> that matter... after all, he wrote many other decent concerti, too...
 DD>> Title: Four Seasons Enchiladas
 DD>> Submitted By: Janice Elder
 NB>> You did a (probably unintentional) double Burton here...  My maiden
 NB>> name is Elder...  ;)

 DD> Didn't know that  -- until now.

I'm sure I've mentioned it, but there would be no reason to remark it,
or retain it...  ;)

 DD> Title: Elderflower Champagne
 DD> Categories: Five, Beverages, Citrus
 DD> Yield: 1 gallon
 DD> 2    Heads elderflower
 DD> 1 1/2 lb White sugar
 DD> 2 tb White-wine vinegar
 DD> 1 ga Water
 DD> 1    Lemon
 DD> Pick the Elderflower heads when in full bloom and put into
 DD> a bowl followed by the lemon juice, cut up rind (no white
 DD> pith), sugar and vinegar. Add the cold water and leave for
 DD> 24 hours. Strain into strong bottles, cork firmly and lay
 DD> them on their sides. After two weeks it should be ready to
 DD> drink. This is a summer drink, rather like lemonade.

Looks like this would be a steeped drink, not an fermented one...?  Or
does it ferment during the two weeks of storage...?
