Roll Over Beethoven

Well my dears, I'm back from London with a new filofax (purple leather - get me!), a 'program' for sorting my teeth out (ouchy with the numbers) and a bagful of classical CDs.

I stayed over with bf J, her daughter and partner, and he (her partner) has a business selling classical music CDs to discerning customers. In doing so he buys stock from other collectors and various classical music nuts (my description, not his). Unfortunately this sometimes means he ends up with stuff he can't sell to the discerning customer, which made today my lucky day.

I know next to nothing about classical music, I have various pieces on my laptop but, and it's a big but, I can't tell the good stuff from the bad stuff (both in terms of composition and quality of performance) so he gave me a bagful of CDs his customers wouldn't buy, just to get me started. A sort of 'Janet and John' of classical music.

I am well pleased.
