Pictures of the snowfall

Re: ()() Earthlight Orchestra: Laughter, Tears & Dreams
Angel:Waltz in E Minor is my favourite. Very nice.Angel If memory serves, it's Galatea's favorite too -- and that of quite a few others off-Fray. It does the most with the least, something I like in music as much as in poetry. wr ()()
