I am playing a much-worn CD of Dvorak's New World Symphony.There was a time when I was saturated ad nauseum with that work. It was played over and over and over by my stepfather, John Hale when I was a young teen. He loved it so much. And later, I did, too........Thanks for that, John. He had it on extra wide diameter 78 RPM records. Oh, oh, hear that needle announcing the end? Scratch, scratch, scratch. Time to start it over..........
