First of all, I said that Haydn Wood was far from Bach, Mozart, Vivaldi,
F.J.Haydn...  Not that it was far from being magnificent!  I simply love
that record.  And sincerely, I believe that it is real music, and even true
music.  So, as a suggestion for Bob's friend who, I hope, will recover as
soon as possible, it was serious.

However, if you asked me what music makes me feel that life is worth
living, I would say for instance Bruckner's 8th symphony.
