For other people.
OTOH while I was out getting some stuff locally I stopped at a nearby Half Price Books and got some great used CDs. All Beethoven but one, and mostly stuff I didn't already have except for there was a 9th symphony with Jon Vickers singing tenor (MUST HAVE!! JON VICKERS!! also I'm kinda collecting different versions of that one anyway) plus a 5th piano concerto with Leon Fleisher/Szell/Cleveland Orchestra (classic, absolute must have).
What I may do this year instead of blowing all my leftover Christmas bonus money on CDs and whatnot, is buy some tickets to the Cinci Symphony Orchestra for the 2011/2012 season. They have Beethoven on two programs in February and one in March.
But Amazon is giving out extra rewards points on music downloads until the end of the year, so I expect I may treat myself to a little something.
