Thanks Hans for a nice variety of music.Pop,Rock,Blues ethnic etc. Some of the pieces that I don't recognize surprisingly sound familiar when I attempt to play them.The classical music that I thought was dull and boring when I was younger have become interesting and fun to play now that I am older.
