Hi. This forum came very highly recommended, so here I am. Not new to classical music but yet my knowledge of it is not very deep. I would like to learn more. Criminal trial attorney inner-city courts of Boston. This alone would be sufficient reason to delve into classical music more deeply, and immediately upon leaving court for my 77 mile one way commute, I turn on a Boston classical music station. It helps!

The opposite direction, although Long Sands Beach in York is a great place.

Dave - welcome to the GMG Forum - you should find plenty of interest here, both people & musical recommendations (mainly classical, but there is a non-classical thread that's quite active!) -  :)  (Dave, also)

Yup, I love the area. And I think the drive north is probably a much smoother ride than your daily commute.  :o

I know. We got temporarily carried away, so I sent a couple of private messages instead, to stay on the subject of classical music here......

  Welcome to the forum.  WOW a 77 mile one way commute, that provides ample time to play one of Verdi's operas from start to finish!!
