Let's see what the alternatives are, and if people choose to
go with this one, we can work on it.

 I really DO love orchestras and classical
 CS> music.  It may sound a little silly but I took a class in college (had
 CS> to have an arts elective) in 'music appreciation' and gained a love for
 CS> classical.  Ok, oddball classical too as I love gregorian chant.  I
 CS> dont have a real 'favorite' among the types, just liked them.

Funny what a blanket term "classical" has become: Gregorian is of
course ancient religious music (maybe oddball is a good way of
putting it). Originally, "classical" meant concert music mostly of
the 18th into the early 19th century. Then it started spreading
both directions (earlier to the baroque and rococo periods and later
through the romantics, impressionists, and so on); most recently I
guess it has come to mean all serious or at least "non-popular"
music.

 CS> Cool!  Free waterfront ones here too but I dont know if it's anything
 CS> classical.  Just lots of fireworks over the ocean.
 
I thought everyone did the 1812 Overture with their fireworks.
