Listening to "Classical Gas" by Mason Williams on grooveshark. I loved this piece when I first heard it as a 10-year-old in Aibonito, Puerto Rico in 1970 (or was it '71?), and I still love it! Great energy and articulation, besides fun, modal melody. Plus, I enjoy the mix of genres/styles/instruments.
Btw, the link I've given for Aibonito shows the street on which I lived, and I believe the very house, although most else has changed. When I was there, we were the newest house on the block and there was a large bamboo forest behind our house and to the east (if I have my directions oriented correctly).
