- Mayhap, and maybe it's just that it's galloping music to begin with--I
- *really* can't see myself bounding down the side of an alp to that rhythm
- (-: . . . not while keeping my bones unbroken, in any case. Myself, I
- always associate the last movement of the "New World" symphony with LR.
- (or is it the third movement?) On the other hand, I don't really associate
- the second movement of the 9th with the =Huntly-Brinkly Report=, despite the
- many years I watched it. On the gripping hand, any culture is better than none
