Milestone and Music

So, I understand that this is my 50^th blog entry. Wow, fifty posts in just under four months, and I'm not bored with it yet. I don't know if the same can be said for my readers, though.

Anyway, as I was walking through the library on campus today, I saw several CDs in one of the display cases. It seems that the library received all these CDs and more from the recent music industry settlement, and they're selling the duplicates (or the ones 'not suitable for inclusion in the library collection') to raise money to buy other CDs. Good music at a low price for a good cause? How am I supposed to resist that? Here's what I got:

• The Mystery of Santo Domingo de Silos: Gregorian Chant from Spain
  
• Rogers and Hammerstein's South Pacific featuring Glenn Close, Harry Connick, Jr., and Rade Sherbedgia (from the 2001 ABC movie)
  
• Linda Ronstadt's A Merry Little Christmas
  
• Timeless: Honoring the Music of Hank Williams featuring Mark Knopfler, Sheryl Crow, Johnny Cash, Keb' Mo', Beck, Tom Petty, and others
  

Total cost: $9.59. How cool is that?
