[78-L] ...and what about non-opera classical?

[Rodger Holtin]

Ah ha - now THAT is something I did NOT know!  
I need to get my boys to check that stuff out for me, too!
I did know that the classic-sounding stuff has made to "album" status.
When they say "album" nowadays, I assume that must mean some download
package and not a physical disc with paper notes and pictures, right?

Don't forget that video games have probably done more to spread 78 era music
among young people than our collective efforts on this list. Games like
"Bioshock 2" and "Fallout 3" are full of original recordings from the 1930's
and 40's and there have been "soundtrack" albums as well as collections
"inspired by" these games issued.
