>Free Concert Sat. Feb. 16 @ 3pm: ROCOCO STRING QUARTET

This group is HUGE on mp3.com.  With almost 1.2 MILLION listens on
their page, they offer offer such fare as arrangements of music from that
movie "Amadeus", J.S.  Bach's well-known work "Music for Relaxation", an
arrangement of Beethoven's 5th, and perhaps what will be the encore, the
Romance from Godfather III.  There's a version of the Air on the G-string
that's actually played on the G-string, and rather well to boot.  (I've
always wondered, was it originally intended to be played on the g string?
How did that name come about?) It's good if safe playing and should be a
fun concert.

Their mp3 page is at http://mp3.com/RococoString
