Today, FedEx delivered my birthday present from my wife, Lisa.

I couldn't be happier with it! :)

Many hours of great music in this collection. While some duplicate CDs that I already own, there are many that I have never heard and would never have purchased.

We've already listened to a couple of ones that are new to us.

Right now: "Anything Goes" on which Yo-yo Ma and Stephane Grappelli play "(mostly") Cole Porter.

    Happy b-day moose! Nice gift. His rendition of the prelude from Bach's Cello Suite No. 1 is quite simply the best - My and my younger daughter's favorite! enjoy your gift and time shared listening with your wife.

    Wow! What a great gift, with a lot of thought behind it. Happy Birthday, indeed, Moose!

    NOTHING like evenings with Yo-Yo Ma over the Polks when they're "in the zone" - can sometimes bring a tear to your eye the sound is so beautiful. :)

    Going to go put my Yo-Yo Ma Plays Ennio Morricone SACD on now. B) And maybe a sip or two of Macallan on the rocks.

    There's nothing quite like The Macallan and great music with the woman you love!

    That Ennio Morricone Cd is one of the best!
