"We used to hear these played every Saturday morning on Classic 99, KFUO, St. Louis' classical music station, till the Missouri Synod made the horrific mistake of selling the station in 2010."

There are some pieces here that I am very familiar with (and always wondered who composed them, which now I know), as well as some that I have never heard before and have thoroughly enjoyed being exposed to."
