I happen to like some of the more obscure pieces, or less popular, and perhaps only because of a setting, etc!.

Brighton Beach is one I am more drawn to!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The Odd Couple is probably his most popular!.!.!.

I really like The Goodbye Girl and Biloxi Blues though!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
