Chris, darn it! There you go triggering an endless replay of Mantovani's "Theme from Elvira Madigan" in my mind.
While I don't own any Mantovani music these day, I did own LP's in the 70s. Remember the old Culumbia Record Club? Well, limited disposable income in college made this a must have of sorts. My preference for instrumental music, and the limited selection of such in the upfront free offerings, put Mantovani on my list. One thing I can say, it was terrific background music while I was studying, sweetly undistracting.
The "Theme" somehow so totally stuck in my head, that I can virtually replay it mentally, down to the instrumental passages. Wow!
