A big "Bravissimo", JanL... Perfect music to waste time doing a half-ass job on the Sunday Crossword and Sudoku to...

I hope you'll re-broadcast this sometime, JanetLand. I'd love to hear it!

aww sorry I missed that - looks like a great list! I was watching Million Dollar Baby (which wasn't at all as I'd expected, though I did like it).

I should, with any luck, be performing no 3 on your list as a soloist next year.

I was surprised, as I was listening to the set last night, just how many of these pieces first came to my attention through the TV ads of the early 80s.

Good luck altolinguistic!
