I'm with Dianne on this one, although my "opera wall" doesn't come with a

I just plain don't like most 19th century music (or a fair amount of 20th

form that has a lot of over-the-top drama in it

Why do you have to buy the rest of the boning in the same place?

Emory and toe are the usual 1800's filling. The emory is really hard to
find. The toe is the flax that is thrown away from sheathing. Go to a

Hi Sue,
This is very odd, we share excatcly same taste in music.
Except for some music by Elgar, Stravinsky, my music ranges also from 16th
trough 17th. and 18th century music.
My favourite composer is Haendel, i just love his music sooo much

I saw a movie an adaption of Richard III with Ian McKellan (sp??), done in the

In fact it made more sense to me then the original.
