Hey, I can play that way too. Wonder Why We Ever Go Home, by Jimmy Buffett and Roxanne, by the Police.

By the way, Assorted and Soundtracks aren't musical genres.

They are on my computer!

I have a brother in law who sorts his CDs by color. Does that count?

"World": I hate that genre. Basically, World is where iTunes puts any music that is not American or English

I feel no shame about Zamfir -- the track was on the Kill Bill soundtrack, so it's valid. At least, that's what I keep telling myself..

Afraid not. Apparently just very sheltered.

A fellow Zamfir fan Florence?

[bjones6416]

And in the interest of full disclosure, some of my, ahem, more interesting entries just happened to not be first or last. So believe me, I am not judging here! I just liked that phrase.... "King of the Pan Flute."

No, just a victim. I don't think you could have grown up in France in the 1970s and not hear him. Not that I minded too much at the time

One of his hits was recycled by Simon and Garfunkel - or was it the other way around?
