    A lot...I love classical music. The last movement to Beethoven's 9th Symphony, the "Ode to Joy," is one of the most glorious pieces of music produced by man.

    The there's J.S. Bach...the Toccata in D Minor is such a cool piece. The melody from his "Minuet in G Major" is used in the Toys' 1965 classic "Lover's Concerto."

    Felix Mendelssohn...known best for his "Wedding March," but I won't hold that against him, because not all marriages turn out like mine.

    Giuseppi Verdi...Aida is a great opera, and the inspiration for the musical by Tim Rice and Elton John...which is also a great show.

    Antonio Vivaldi...best know for "The Four Seasons," which you've heard if you saw the 1981 movie of the same name with Alan Alda and Carol Burnett, because it made up a major part of the soundtrack.

    Franz Schubert, who wrote a lot more wonderful stuff besides his "Unfinished Symphony."

    ---Quick aside. A guy reading about classical music saw a story that Schubert had the last movement of the symphony buried with him. So, he flies to Vienna, sneaks into the cemetery after dark, digs down to the casket, opens the lid, and there's Schubert who turns to him and says, "Go away, can't you see I'm busy decomposing?"

    I'll just throw one more out. Maurice Ravel. For anybody who has seen the movie "10" his Bolero will forever be associated with Bo Derek in that movie. That's a good thing...a real good thing.

    Anyhow, I could go on for quite awhile, but it would just get boring.
