Thanks Dave,

This is a serious classical music composition that blows my mind. 
Background for me is that the radio recordings, and spark, we're 
recorded in the museum and shack of Ed Raser, W2ZI (sk). He was my 
Elmer, and I took my novice test in that shack the same summer this was 
made, when I was 11. I've often told the story Ed having me send a CQ on 
that spark transmitter after I passed the test, and said "You just wiped 
out every TV within a half mile. You're a real ham now." He and my dad 
thought that was hilarious.

About halfway in is a hot string of Vs which I'm pretty sure is NSS as I 
listened to it for hours, like background music, while I did homework 
after school.

I think you'll enjoy it. I find it very moving. I used extracts from it, 
with permission, as the intro to that video I made a couple of years ago.

I'd like to find a clean recording of original strings of Vs to 
demonstrate for Morse students. Otherwise I'll make one.
