I can certainly identify with that!  Most of the contemporary music I
purchase is dreck, which never DOES redeem itself.  But the occasional
jewel acts as intermittent reinforcement, fueling my process of buying
more and more.

I certainly wish there was a way of auditioning these works before laying
out the hard cash.  Maybe we should unite and create an MP3 library of this
stuff....
