I'm lovin this, Thanks for all of the great posts.
I have been enjoying your site for some time. (somewhat of a lurker).
Peace.
You're not lurking--you're just using the Internet! (-: Thanks for the nice words. And great to hear from you, Mr. Hammill!
Hey Lee,
Love what you're shareing-- I would love to have Grofe's DEATH VALLEY SUITE. Is this public domain yet?
I don't think so. At any rate, both Grofe's Capital performance and the (relatively) recent NAXOS versions are both on CD, which is why I didn't post either! I do have a little-known recording of one of the movements, "Desert Water Hole." I'll have to put that one back up....
Search my archives for Grofe--most of the postings are still active.
I was privileged to hear Leif Erickson and Requiem for a Ghost Town live. I have been looking for a recorded copy for years. I was thrilled to discover your site.
Thank you,
Debby
