Baby, it *IS* c-c-c-cold outside!

For some of us, the weather outside *IS* frightful -- minus-4 currently in Dubuque at this hour.
Those conditions prompted ROUTE 1 to pose the following FRIDAY QUESTION:
"You're sitting by the fire, warm inside while it is freezing outside. What music do you want to hear?"
Gary D. -- Anything by The Rolling Stones. You can't go wrong with them.
Ellen B. -- A little Neil Diamond.
Lisa Y. -- Norah Jones.
Mary N.-P. -- Why, "Hunka, hunka burning love" by Elvis Presley would war just about anyone up.
Rick T. -- Nice, slow 50s and 60s music. A little rhythm & blues and a little rock n roll.
Steve M. -- My new Jean Luc Ponty CD -- nice, violin jazz fusion sounds that I loved in college in the 70s.
Mike M. -- Johann Sebastian Bach's "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor," while laughing maniacally.
Erik H. -- Duke Ellington (piano), Rex Stewart (cornet) and Lawrence Brown (trombone) take three languid, relaxing solos during Ellington's 1940 tone poem "Dusk." I heard it while my teeth were ch-ch-ch-chattering in the car this week, and I thought that it would sound much more soothing while sitting by a warm fireplace.
