    I quite like this! A thousand years ago, when the earth was merely middle-aged, I had an LP of Satie's piano pieces (it was old when I acquired it in the '80s), and I grew rather fond of that odd Frenchman's work. In all the time I've been poking around YT, this is the first time Satie has surfaced . . . high time, I say!
