Samuel Barber

Back in college I was lent a cd by a friend.

On it was a piece by Samuel Barber, "Adagio for Strings".
At the time, Dodge had a car out called the Gio. I pictured Sam the barber driving in his Dodge Gio.

The piece is a lament. At one point it builds and builds in an emotial cry "WHY!? " with the violins, then the cellos *sigh*. You'll know it when it gets there...

Gives me goose bumps everytime and brings me to tears.

It helps if you have lost someone close, as I have.

Check it out sometime...

it's q u i t e a ride.
