No, ma'am, "classic rock" and "classical" are not the same thing

A girl from Craig's List wrote to me, and we discussed the kinds of music that appealed to us. I asked her what she liked, and she spouted off a list of dozens of bands I have honestly never heard of. She then asked me what I like, and basically I told her "classical." I elaborated a bit -- there are so many good strains of classical, after all! -- but basically that's what it comes down to.

Anyway, this got me to thinking: I want to start including one of those trendy "music i'm listening to" lines within each post, just so You the Reader know what sounds are going through my head as I express myself.

Until I figure out how to make it a neat automated thing, I will just tell you. Ready? Okay, here goes:

Verdi's Messa da Requiem
(On "Vox," XM channel 112)


Nice.
