Dvorak was something of a train buff, so there might be some cosmic
connection, intended or otherwise.  As one who doesn't drive, I can't
discern this parallel, but it's a thought, perhaps.

Don enthused of his DG set of the string quartets:

Such sets don't take up as much space, but what I *hate* about them is
that you can't remove the CD from its little paper sleeve without
putting your fingers all over the playing surface.  Call me
old-fashioned and super-cautious, but I guess it's just a habit
ingrained from years of handling LPs not to leave fingerprints - or
tabasco sauce or whatever - on the music.
