How odd Jose, that's the only Mozart in my collection, apart from single movements on compilations.
I bought it 'cause I was working my way through Craig Heller's 'From metal to Mozart', a guide to classical from a rock perspective, in chronological order. I'd take his recommendation and then see who's version was recommend by that Classical on CD guide you alway's see in the shops.
Heller's book has these weird suggestion on what classic will appeal to you depending on what rock you like. Eine Kleine Nachtmusik is actually compared to Chuck Berry's 'Johnny Be Good'.

The Contino Sessions - Death In Vegas
Taking refuge & comfort in a bit of nostalgic stuff:
Don't start me talking or I'll tell everything I know
Don't start me talking I'll spill the beans for sure
Right before your eyes
I'll blow it all open wide
Don't start me talking
Don't start me talking 'cause once I get the itch
Don't start me talking I just have to scratch
First a little slow
Then I start to flow
Don't start me talking
Cheers all you cheers
Help me if I fall
Cheers all you cheers
God bless you all
Don't start me talking or I'll have it all my way
Don't start me talking 'cause night will turn to day
Stars will run and hide
Strong men weep a tide
So don't start me talking
Cheers all you cheers
Help me find a wall
Cheers all you cheers
God bless you all

Ok msolga, I gotta know...Is that a bit of Aussie fluff? ...and by whom?
Days Like This - Van Morrison
On Green Dolphin Street-Lenny Breau
The late Lenny Breau was an uncrowned king of jazz fingerstyle guitar. A relatively unknown voice on the instrument, he startled newcomers to his music by his ability to comp chords behind himself sounding like two guitarists, ring out lengthy bell-like harmonic passages, tastefully blend his influences of country, jazz and flamenco and fluidly improvise in this sryle. On August 12, 1984, he was found dead in a Los Angeles swimming pool. An autopsy revealed that he had been strangled in an unsolved murder that shocked those that knew this gentle, warm man.
His friend and musical mentor Chet Atkins laments, "Lenny was one of the great little individuals and characters that's ever been in this world. Everybody loved him so much. Except the person who strangled him. I guess."
Sadly, after a career of ups and mostly downs, Breau was just gaining greatly deserved respect and recognition, at least among guitar players. He leaves behind a representative but not easily found sampling of his music that is worth the search.

Panz - thanks for the Lenny Breau info - MsOlga's lyrics were indeed from an Aussie - 'Don't start me talking' by Paul Kelly.
I don't mean to bore anyone, just love to learn music stuff. I like to know why you're listening and who they are and why they mean something to you.
Don't Start Me Talking
Sonny Boy Williamson
I'm going down the road, stop at Fannie Mae's
Gonna tell Fannie what I've heard her boyfriend say
Don't start me that talking
I'll tell everything I know
Gonna break up this signifying
Everybody's got to go
Jack gave his wife two dollars,
to go down town, get some margarine
Gets out on the street, old George stopped her
He knocked her down and blackened her eye
Get back home and tell her husband a lie
Don't start me that talking
I'll tell everything I know
I'm gonna break up this signified
Cause somebody's got to go
She borrowed some money, go to the beauty shop
He honked his horn and she began to stop
Said: take me baby around the block
I'm going to the beauty shop
where I can get my hair "sot"
Don't start me talking
I'll tell everything I know
I'm gonna break up this signified
Somebody's got to go
I cued this up and got into the evil tone Sonny Boy got.
I'm currently listening to a compilation of Django Reinhardt, Stephane Grapelli and the Quintet of The Hot Club of France. I've had it for years, and keep getting it out because I love it so much. For a guy with 2 fingers missing on his fret-hand, Django was a genius.
Jimmy Cliff - The Harder They Come
Harder They Come is a superb soundtrack to an interesting movie.
I've actually never seen the movie, but I agree it is a great album. Expecially the cover of Rivers of Babylon.
