I believe that the intelligent members of the board could easily understand that I refer to Jim and Scarfe. You need not call me a dumb ass. You only exhibit the lowliness of your own self worth. As for the music that Jim played on his sound system for Scarfe, you can listen to "Ride Of The Valkyries" by this link on a classical music site. The recording dates back to 1921 and so the quality is not good, but what is very interesting about it is the dramatic pitches that you can hear are familiar in the ways Jim is influenced by Wagner. Some may have heard the ending portion of this piece as another adaptation similar to "Flight of the Bumble Bee" and in the theme to some television series pertaining to a flying insect, but the most recognizable part is the one that has been used in television commercials. I don't remember which ones, but that just shows that the music is stronger than the brands. This is a brief, very dramatic and pleasant piece of classical music, albiet with old record hiss and tinny with age. Ride Of The Valkries I was first introduced to music through Wagner when Jim gave me the set of the "Ring Of The Nibelung" and a phonograph record player. > > > > I had to use the word search function to find that part, > > but when I did I was delighted to read this section: > > He’s a great Wagner nut.
