Thanks for all your greetings!

JohnK - i've already followed your advice and purchased Holst and Rachmaninoff (#s 27 and 53 of RCA Victor's Basic 100) among others. I'm a novice in classical music and am still trying to determine my preference, but i like what i've heard so far.

I also took Sushi's word and ordered Disney's Fantasia 2000 from amazon (still waiting for the CD). The link started by usujazz back in October 03 has a ton of information in it, and i've printed out the entire thread.

On a separate note, i wonder where Sushi went. His balanced and intellectual comments were one of the reasons why i got hooked to this forum in the first place.
