Thanks the "don--(Pablo)". Ed Grieg was a pretty good composer. --Van

Yeah, something short and sweet. Glad you liked it. It was rather late at night to be playing "Morning". I was thinking of going through this book anyway (It's a fun kind of book) and what better way than a once a week series, (I thought up on the spot)--"Sunday Night at the Classics"--. Still plan on other things during the week--so much to do, so little time. You know how it goes. --Van
