A to Z PART 2 - MY FAVORITE BIG BANDS, CHOIRS, CLASSICAL COMPOSERS & ORCHESTRASJun 19 '05 (Updated Jun 29 '05) Write an essay on this topic.The Bottom Line This is my personal list of my all-time favorite Big Bands, Choirs, Composers & Orchestras as a part of my continuing A to Z MUSIC Write-Off After having what I feel was a fabulous Music Artist A to Z Write-Off recently with over 60 entries and still growing I decided to make a second list of favorites. My first list I must admit got way out of control as I read other entries and said to myself "I can't believe I forgot that Artist, they just have to be on my list as well". Well it totally got out of control and began to get a life of it's own. So let me first apologize to everyone for a list that I know is way, way, way too big and is a little outrageous. I also noticed there was a lot of Big Band artists, Choirs, Orchestras and Classical Composers that were cropping up on my list as well making it even longer/bigger and more outrageous. So I decided to remove ALL of the artists/composers in those categories and make a separate list of them in a separate posting. In my very large, extensive library of over 1,500 CD's and still growing I have all of these artists and composers listed below also in my collection. Over the past week I have listened to over 50 of these CD's at work during the day between in-coming phone calls and during the 4 to 6 hours I spend on line every night. Most of these artists below are on Various Artists Greatest Hits Compilation CD's and some of these are anywhere from a 3-CD set to a 20-CD set. Almost all of the Classical Composers are in one large 10-CD Box set titled "Masters Of Classical Music" that has 106 tracks on it. I have listed next a few of my favorite Big Band, Classical, Choir and Orchestra Albums and CD's in my collection next. Once again let me state that only Members who are on my personal WOT were sent personal invitations. If you did not receive a personal Email invite to my write-off I am very sorry. This does not mean you cannot still submit an entry. Either you were not on my WOT or if you were I could not find your Email, it was not posted at Epinions, it was a bad Email posted on your profile page, I accidentally missed you on my WOT or my mail service Yahoo somehow messed it up.

If you are interested in doing an entry like this please feel free to do so and let me know and I will add a link back to your posting as soon as I can. I counted my CD's and Albums I have the the groups listed above and over the last 30 years I have amassed 97 separate ones not counting the 2 or more sets, box sets etc. I'm always looking for stuff to add to my collection including used ones in decent condition and especially if I find them in one of those dirt-cheap bins you see sometimes in stores like Wal-Mart. Okay Wal-Mart, you got your plug here today so I want some free music, do you hear me? Besides most of my music over the last 20 years has either come from Wal-Mart, walmart.com, amazon.com or cduniverse.com just to name my favorites. I believe there are about 15 different sites on line that I have used and a dozen or so walk-in stores in this town? Well this has been a lot of fun putting together again. I have been able to listen to a ton of music that has been gathering dust for quite a few years. In case anyone is wondering when am I going to get back to my real music artist postings, I hope that will be sometime in July if I am lucky and everything falls into place? I have been working on my next artist off and on for 3 weeks now and maybe will have more time to devote to them soon? I do however have one more card trick still up my sleeve that I want to play first. Thanks as always for reading and rating and please feel free to leave any comments, suggestions, questions or complaints? I hope everyone has a Wonderful upcoming week and God Bless You All, Ron.  |
