Dear Sandra,

This sounds like a really great collection. Do you, or anyone else on list,
know where I can purchase the complete set in the US? I couldn't find it in
Amazon.com last night, I'll continue to check a few other places later as
well. Thanks,

Seth

"Music is far, far older than our species. It is tens of millions of years
old, and the fact that animals as wildly divergent as whales, humans and
birds come out with similar laws for what they compose suggests to me that
there are a finite number of musical sounds that will entertain the
vertebrate brain."
