Don - I'm truly thrilled!  After all these years, I finally have a new computer, and I'm listening to your program for the first time!  I'm loving it, and only wish I had been able to enjoy each and every broadcast over the years.

You wouldn't be human if you didn't...
...I will enjoy...Peter Maxwell Davies: Yellow Cake Revue...

DON  after all the years how could you not be a bit sentimental and sad about your last program?

I used to think I didn't like Fur Elise, but I finally realized what I didn't like was how it sounded when I tried to play it.  Now I like it a lot, but I don't try to play it.

Come Again and Fine Knacks for Ladies are two of my favorite Dowland songs, and I doubt they're ever sung better than that.

HI Marilyne!  I guess it's more Hail and Farewell seeing as it's my last show. You can still get podcasts of my show though

I always liked the Minute Waltz before I knew the name Chopin.

When I was young I took piano lessons, could read the music good and as I got better I bought a Polonaise by Chopin. There were places in it I could not do. His hands must have been big and mine small because no way could I stretch my hand to do the chords.

Dance Of The Hours is a record I played often in childhood.  It talked to me!
we had one of those old gramophone that you wind with a handle, and it had a huge head holding the thick needle.

Haunting O'Carolan .  Now it will twirl into my sleep the whole night. The harp is just right for it.

Bubble I had one of those gramophones

Coffee Cantata--another favorite.

Don I have a UK friend from another forum linked up to your programme now, her name is Sandy, she can hear your programme...she is very much a classics fan...

My first and my last time listening to Don's program.  I'm enjoying it so much, as I knew I would!

So far my favourites have been.. Berlioz: Death Of Ophelia and Peter Maxwell Davies: Yellow Cake Revue...another eight to go... I am really enjoying this programme..

Jackie please extend a warm welcome to Sandt.

Don, I also gave Sandy this link...I will check to see she saw it..

Edited: yes she has, she says " thank you very much.."

Maybe you could revive that poetry program, by choosing favorite verses...  It is years I haven't read any.

I know who this one is for.  Didn't realize the grandson was a musician too.

Yes PatH; everything I played was for somebody

that mouse waltz is fun!

Weather report--what a hoot.

It is very much like a Barbershop Quartet...

Wonder what we would think of hearing a weather report like this one on out TV or radio. Love it.

feeling  these verses...  oh, the end of an era...
You made history here Don.  I am sure the X will remember you.

bye bye Treemonisha.

Bye bye Don on the radio, Layla Tov.

I really like this one...Joplin: Treemonisha Finale...

And thank you Don, for your wonderful last show...yes an end of an era...

DON  I know you  will  fill the time you spent preparing for your weekly program with something you enjoy doing, especially with no schedule to keep.  I will not say goodbye, I hope to see you posting in the Soda Shoppe and elsewhere, I wish you the best.

I know we all have tears now running down our faces. Just keep in touch. I now have you Pod on my desktop. Will think about you on Sunday at noon and just turn it on. Not the same but better than silence.

I'm wiping away a tear or two.  Thank you, Don for so much good music.  I'll see you here still.  Great last program.

Don, it has been wonderful. I am looking forward to seeing your posts and quizzes even if we don't have Reid's Records on Sundays. Lots of memories to reminisce over.
