Re: [ARSCLIST] A Holiday vision

There are plenty of jazz LPs that make me cry because of envy (that I 
wish I was that talented) and sadness (they're pretty much all gone and 
we'll never see anything like Duke Ellington's band again).  I could 
site many popular and classical recordings, too, that move me for a 
number of reasons.  Maybe I'm just a crybaby.
