Jim, that Copland/Gould Living Stereo CD you recommended last week arrived at my door yesterday & I'm quite pleased with it; the Appalachian Spring segment is a real knockout that leaves most others back in the Piedmont. I confess that my listening habits have done a disservice to me as it regards Mr. Copland. I got my first intro to him in the early 70s by way of a misconception that he sounded too much like Ives and/or Ruggles. Boy, did that Emperor's Tailor really have the wool pulled over my eyes. I think he might have been using a Blind Stitch.

Robert, I'm impressed that you remember the tune, "Shopping For Clothes," from the Coasters, although it never quite gave me that lumpy, bumpy, jump and twitch feeling I got from my favorite Coasters tune. For your edification on Coasters trivia, the group changed its name from the Robins in the hopes that their subsequent releases would chart higher than "Smokey Joe's Cafe" (in 1955). Their itching was hence rewarded with a nice dose of calamine lotion.
