~ 60 pieces I must confess to like a lot :
that show I'm a real tart at heart
of course there's no need for a numbers countdown here
because, let's face it, I did not enjoy a classic education
It's just some of the pieces I've grown up with,
have memories or warm sentiments about,
and I did leave out some of the most known pieces (like Bach) on purpose
because basicly I do not want religion to crawl in here as well
and don't forget a few numbers that should be here ended up on my funeral list
also the availability of kickass imagery played a significant role in the selection.
