I fought the urge to start demanding "Put my favorite band back together RIGHT NOW" by running the hell away.
Oh MAN. I would cry.
'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I'm not sure if anyone can help me. The only things on my Dad's Xmas list are some books and some suggestions for music.
He'd like to get a really good recording of Vivaldi's Four Seasons and a CD (or CD set or something) of Strauss's Viennese Waltzes.
can anyone point me to some good recordings?
Four Seasons:
Seiji Ozawa and the Boston Symphony: [link]
Joshua Bell and the Academy of St. Martin's in the Fields: [link]
Vienna Philharmonic and Strauss waltzes: [link]
Another set by the Vienna Philharmonic, except the titles are in German, which might be a bit perplexing: [link]
Oh thanks! The titles might be perplexing but it's more about the music.
Hey, if you buy the CD with German titles, it seems more special!

Never mind. I was able to refine my google search. I had some details wrong, but it was Arthur MacBride.
Jerry Garcia website relaunched. Includes 15,000 hours of recorded music and 3,450 shows. Wow.
