Ah! What a great set, I just hope it will be available for streaming for a little while until we get internet in the home again. Great choices for Bullock and Vallee, too!

Thanks! It'll be up for some time, Gates willing.

Hurrah! I just noticed your shared files. You've made me very happy today because now I can listen without having to buffer every 10 seconds (iffy wireless connection here). Thank you very much again, Andy! I'm going to be listening to Radiola all week now. :-)
