My little town is driving me nuts right now. I need to get on a plane and fly away.

I found the music of Mendelssohn quite consoling yesterday.  Downloaded several recordings by Andreas Pfaul (link to page of free MP3s of piano music byMendelssohn). I alternated between playing Mendelssohn’s Songs without Words and listening to Pfaul’s recordings.
