Don't listen to classical music?

[Pappy]

Maybe you just don't know it.....

From Wikipedia

"Dance of the Hours (Italian, Danza Delle Ore) is a short ballet depicting the passage of time which occurs in Act III Scene 2 of the opera La Gioconda composed by Amilcare Ponchielli. It was first performed in 1876 and revised in 1880. The “Dance of the Hours” is considered one of the most popular ballet pieces in history."

I heard this piece on the way home from work tonight on my local PBS station and couldn't believe my ears.

Listen and just over 2 minutes in you will hear a passage that most of you will recognize.

Hello Mutter...

You know, one of the things I miss about the old Looney Tunes cartoons was they were filled with Classical music. What the kids get these days has no culturally enhancing components.
