[disklavier] Re: Classical Music

1999-11-30 by Todd Muncy

Danny,
I think it's safe to assume, judging by your posting that you are into
classical, as are many, if not most, of the duggers.  Starting this
group turned out to be a snap.  Why don't you start your own group for
classical music file swapping and discussion of same.  Believe it or
not, it took only about 15 minutes to set up this group.  Uploading all
the files was a bit more time consuming.  You'll probably get a better
response than I did.  I might even join.  Just click on the "Start a
Group" link at the top of our group page, or simply go to
www.egroups.com and follow the instructions.
