Bill Pirkle asks of me:

>Here's an idea.  Why don't you define what you mean by "classical
>music" and I'll tell you if I love it or just like it ;-)

Oh, I think that Bill can tell us whether he likes or loves classical music
without my throwing a definition his way.  Beyond that, it's clear that we
have come to a dead-end concerning the defining of music.  Therefore, it
would be equally impossible to define any "sub-set" of music.

On the other hand, I don't want to be unresponsive to Bill, so I'll say
that classical music, for Bill Pirkle, is whatever he thinks/feels it to
be.
