Much loved for 70 years now.

What would comprise your 8 pieces of music,a book and a luxury?

If I can"t take Kirsty Young with me,I would like to have a puter,with it rigged up to a solar panel/generator.

For a book,I"d choose,Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn - One day in the life of Ivan Denisovich..I would know that whatever should befall me,life would be tolerable,in comparison.

4. Paganini - Caprice in Dm
