This article follows on to an article posted at FR in June, that didn't get very wide circulation:

Thanks for posting
Ping to the Classical Music Ping List!
Dear Classical Music Lovers,
I was delighted with the reponse to the recent Vivaldi thread. It appears that there is real interest in classical music news at FR.
The ping list is pretty new, and has been used infrequently.
I've been looking around for interesting sources of classical music news. I'd welcome your feedback as to how much or little news you'd like to see at FR on this subject.
Currently, we ping once in a great while. Is once a week okay? A few times a week?
Let me know!
Classical music is one of my loves, and I enjoy watching folks talk about it, and getting to add my own little bit of knowledge to the mix.
Thanks!!

Thanks for my first classical music ping!
You're welcome!
You don't appear to be on our Classical Music Ping List. Would you like to be added? Right now, it's a low frequency list (pings occasionally), but perhaps, if there is sufficient interest, we can try to dig up interesting classical music articles a few times a week or so.
Let me know!
Dear Maceman,
LOL!! I used to have a PDQ Bach album. Vinyl. Lost to the ages, I'm afraid (unless I bother to get a turntable that works with my current cheapie system).

You're welcome!
Sure, add me to your list.
Thanks
Done! Thank YOU!
What does strophic mean?
I think I will change my tagline...
Love classical-please add me to ping list!
BTW-can anyone post a pic of Ms. Banse?
A term used to describe a song in which all the stanzas of the text are sung to the same music. The opposite of through-composed.

Having the same melody for each verse.

Strophic form, or chorus form, is a sectional and/or additive way of structuring a piece of music based on the repetition of one formal section or block played repeatedly. It is the musical analogue of repeated stanzas in poetry or lyrics: where the text repeats the same rhyme scheme from one stanza to the next, the accompanying music for each stanza is either the same or very similar from one stanza to the next.

Will do!

Do you know of any downloads of a strophe I can listen too?
Dear mozarky2,
I don't know how to get this into a post, but here are some links. She's an attractive young lady:

Dear Corintian Warrior,
No, I don't. It's really a new term for me.
I'd bet there are plenty of folks already on our ping list who can assist.
