When I talk about classical music, I am referring to Bach, Mozart and the rest of the good old boys.

Knowing your old - just look in the mirror.

Here is one:

They broke into my car, stole my gloves and leather jacket but not one of my CDs.

elliott70 · Post by **elliott70** » Sun Jan 28, 2007 9:11 pm

I bet those CD's would have interested me, though.

My wife bought Abby Road the other day.
We already have all the songs, she just wanted the CD picture.

Just before Christmas, AP's wife brought to work with her... AP's entire collection of every Beatle song ever recorded.
When AP met her at a Minneapolis restaurant, one of our public school failures had broken into her car and stole every disc!

The players you used to idolize and look up to when you were a kid are now having their numbers retired. Ken Dryden last night for instance.
