That was totally great. I didn't think anyone cared for classic music anymore; maybe there is a chance for us yet.

I was listening to this when I read this thread.

Classical music is all that you hear in this house, so NO, there are still some of us about.

Just to make your day I think Andrei Rieu is satisfying millions the world over in 2008.

I knew when I saw that link in your post it was Paul Potts before I even opened it. Yes, sometimes "Idol" allows otherwise great talent to be lost forever. He has been out here in OZ on a couple of occasions and has bought the house down. Take particular notice in his later Videos as he has had his teeth corrected since becoming so well known. Here

Enjoy

great stuff, smashing. mike

In todays world where it seems all too often things are going terribly wrong, I'm happy to see a dream come true for at least one deserving person.
