Ilisten to both on the radio and sometimes it's a tough choice, but there wasno Lions game today because it is spring break so I heard Manon from theMet.Listening to opera on 78s is a lot like the sports wrap up on the late news- all the home runs and triple plays boiled down to four minutes, which isideally suited to my attention span anyway.Non-opera classical? Today on the Collector's Corner portion of myotherwise-loosely-formatted "big band" show I played Paderewski andKreisler. Nobody complained - yet.RodgerFor best results use Victor Needles-----Original Message-----From: 78-l-bounces at klickitat.78online.com[mailto:78-l-bounces at klickitat.78online.com] On Behalf Of Kristjan SaagSent: Friday, March 20, 2015 1:48 PMTo: 78-L Mail ListSubject: Re: [78-L] ...and what about non-opera classical?Yeah, serves to separate it from A Shakes
