Appalachian Stomp: Bluegrass Classics
Appalachian Stomp is an ideal starter disc for those just beginning to explore bluegrass. Mostly this is because its 18 selections are so immediately accessible. The “classics” here, in other words, are usually those infrequent bluegrass cuts to have gained radio recognition beyond a core bluegrass audience. That explains why along with timeless standards such as Flatt & Scruggs’ “Foggy Mountain Breakdown” and the Osborne Brothers’ “Rocky Top” we also get “Dueling Banjos” from the film Deliverance, a cut that is to classic bluegrass what Walter Murphy is to Beethoven. There are less immediately obvious choices too, though. If your previous exposure to bluegrass doesn’t go beyond the Holy Trinity of Bill Monroe, Flatt & Scruggs, and the Stanley Brothers–for example, if you’ve never heard J.D. Crowe & the New South’s stellar example of progressive bluegrass, “Old Home Place,” or experienced Jimmy Martin lay down the law on his rousing “You Don’t Know My Mind”–then you’re in for a high-lonesome surprise. –David Cantwell Customer Review: Bluegrass music It’s the best ‘Bluegrass’ CD that I’ve heard in quite a while…I would suggest it to anyone who loves Bluegrass!!!

Vivaldi: The Four Seasons; Violin Concertos
Customer Review: If all music were so beautiful Four seasons is one of my favorite pieces. With Itzhak Perlman at the helm, this rendition is flawless as one would rightfully expect.

Greece: Athens and the Peloponnes, Greek Islands
Climb to the majectic Acropolis, prowl through ancient markets then head south to the Peloponnesian Peninsula and tour the ruins of Olympia, visit the ancient theater at Epidavros and the ancient capital of Mycenae. Island hop and visit the exotic island of Santorini, get familiar with Aegean ferries, ride a motorbike around Samos and hang out on the completely unknown island of Lipsi. Visit Spiliani Monastery and stroll on the black sand beaches. 1997 VHS 60 min. Wehman Video Cat. #0578 Customer Review: I feel more confident about visiting Greece after this A month from now I shall be roaming about Greece so I have been preparing myself for the journey by consuming various tour videos. This particular video combines two installments of Rick Steves series of travels in Europe, “Greece: Athens and the Peloponnese” and “Greece: Greek Island.” The first finds Steves coming to Greece from Italy via the sea, visiting the coastal city of Napolis, the ruins at Mycenae, and the great theater at Epidauros, before moving on to Athens. The Greek islands being visited are Paros, Santorini, and Samos. Steves is apparently a backpacker, which means while he does go to visit the sites that tourists flock to when they visit Greece, he also enjoys getting off the beaten path and finding places where tourists rarely go. Now, I am going on a tour, where my transportation needs will be taken care of and I can be driven in air-conditioned comfort to all the things I want to see. Part of the purpose of this video is intended to show you some of the things you should see (the Hephaisteion at the Agora in Athens would be the prime example of something I added to my list of things to see because of this video), but what I appreciated the most was that Steves gives the traveler a sense of confidence about traveling to that corner of the world. Many of the tips have more practicality for those who are going it alone and traveling more by whim than tour schedule, but even those travelers who are not planning to wander too far from their protective cocoon should feel better about their impending trip after watching these videos. I now know how the public phone system works in Greece and that I should brush up on my backgammon skills (i.e., remember the rules) since that is apparently the national game of Greece. Rick Steves provides a nice balance between useful information and beautiful sites, and with each video running short of a half-hour in length the lessons are easily digestible. Now I just need to find myself a nice CD that can teach me some basic Greek words and phrases so I can avoid being the Ugly American during my trip.
