I haven't heard of Borodin, Satie or Orff. Then again, I may do if I hear their work. I'm so useless with names - whether it's people or tunes.

Having said I don't like opera, there is one I'll never forget: Bizet's The Pearl fishers was my Grandads favourite. Then of course there's Kiri and Joan who probably deserve some more listening time from me!

Too funny about your cat - I totally sympathize with Tom Tom as that was my mother!
