- Exactly... And not just in 'Vegas, either. The "classical" departments
- of most stores in Houston have a few of those $3.99 discs (some of which
- are admirable performances) which are presumably designed to be sold as
- gifts to that "difficult" great aunt who's "so out of touch"... Visits to
- Tower are like a pilgrimage (will appropriate pennance when the credit card
- bill arrives later). And try asking a sales-assistant if they have the new
- Stockhausen CD in stock... ;=)
