3.  I love them, but I die for the Concertos for French Horn,
and his Requiem.

5. Oho!
I MUST get those French Horn concertos. One of my favorite instruments.

I love the Requiem. It is the only Mozart I have seen performed live. Seattle Symphony, 2003, on Easter Sunday. Even posted here about it!

6. No, I haven't!
I will tell you, the best Earl Grey tea I ever had was in Victoria, my first trip there in 1997. I love that city.

7. Did you know that every spring they count all their blossoms
They have neighbourhood captains. City crews are in on it. It's very organized.

8. I had NO idea
Last time I was there was a day trip with some co-workers, early 2001. Wish I had time to have visited Buschart (sp?) Gardens. :hi:

19. when I saw the title of this thread, I was gonna ask the same question!
Lady Grey tea is my FAVORITE! It has more bergamot than Earl Grey, and it absolutely delicious! Glad to see I'm not the only one who enjoys it....

15. Damn, Zomby. I want some of that.

Actually, I think Mozart is my favorite classical composer. I like Bach, but he's so...baroque. ;) Actually, I like most kinds of music. Gregorian Chant even has its moments.

On edit: I thought I'd plug Brahms, too. A piece I'm doing for voice, "Von ewiber Liebe," is too cool for words.

16. anything with Mozart is immediately improved.
although I don't care for Earl Grey.

Lady Grey isn't bad

20. I'm always looking for good Earl Grey....What do you recommend?
I used to get some that came in wooden boxes from Canada...but that source dried up. Ah the soothing pleasure of life.......:hi:
