mussorgsky's pictures at an exhibition was written for piano but this is a recording of ravel's orchestra version, which is actually more popular then the original.......it's about 2 hours to new years, probably will surf for a while, take a hot bath and hit the sheets long before midnight......i rarely stay up for it.........the last time was 2 years ago and then only because of the Y2K hype.....not that i every really bought into it.....after all it's just another day, it's only different because we arbitrarily set the new year on that date, no rea; logic behind it, just tradition and formality..........as willie would say..."full of sound and fury,signifing nothing"...........
