Subj: Re: [kl] Time for a moderated list?

Those sounds aren't new to me. I grew up with them just as much as I did the
rest of the music I love. I love all music, with a passion. I especially
love the music from centuries ago. I can't find enough of it. Can you
recommend any places near the vicinity of the area around Westport to
Seattle? I live in the former, but travel to the latter often. And I am so
looking to expand my musical knowledge. I have tons of pieces I can't play
on ym own yet, because I haven't wuite figured out what they sound like, and
I am hesitant to learn them the wrong way, because it's twice as hard not to
play them that way and relearn it.
