A lot of Bach pieces are nice to listen to while watching the second hand glide around the dial! :)

In one word NO!
Unless you count the late and great Barry White
Because every time that I heard one of his records, I always think of the Y/G DD that he use to wear

The Daytona is so perfect with this song. Man, I grew up with Speedracer. I was in love with Trixie. I wished I had a pet like Chim Chim, but I hated the beenie.
I wished I had a cool older brother like Racer X. The one thing that I still dream about in any car, is the gool steering wheel with "A-G" button, although I don't need the chain saw function.

Hi John,

I definitely want the Yonkers function...Yonk! Yonk! Yonk! Yonk! Yonk! Yonk!

Yonk! Yonk! Yonk! Yonk! Yonk! Yonk!

The Speed Racer Movie coming out next year looks like it will be superb!!! Can wait to see it.

Go Speed Racer!! Go Speed Racer!! Go Speed Racer!!...Go!!!!!!!

Hi Paul!

Unfortunately Classical music is the only music I don't really listen to. This is going to change though and I am going to start listening to more–same with Jazz. I almost think that Jazz & Classical are genres that you appreciate more as you get older...it is kind of like a rite of passage...

If you or anybody else has some cool recomendations for additional Classic music in the same vane as the ones you just mentioned I would appreciate it.

Thanks,

Jake

Simply Red. Moneys to tight to Mention.
Self explanatory really.

[jake]

Classic!!! The song reminds me of The Donald, who definitely reminds me of 80s excess, which reminds me of the YG DD for some reason.
