Lory's Top Twenty "Essential" CD's
Yes, it's my proverbial "Desert Island List"; 20 essential works on CD that would enable me to remember all that's true, noble, creative, enlightening, uplifting, funny, sad, endearing and enduring about the human spirit, should I ever find myself shipwrecked on a desert island with nothing but a stereo system and my imagination.
