I'm packing an office tomorrow
More than twenty years of accumulation!
So many awards and books
But I've already packed the CDs
Tonight, I'll play some.
9:00
1. Swingle Singers - Mozart: The Magic Flute - Overture (3:07)
Someone earlier this week said something about "child-like wonderment" and I thought that track typified that.
And
explanation on this set. I really didn't think I was going to make it
tonight, because my dad's been in the hospital and I didn't know
where/when I would be needed. On Wednesday, I was helping pack his
office (that he's had for 20+ years), and I was holding a box of CDs and
thought, "That's a set in there." So, that's what this is. My dad's CD
collection.
