	We've heard that the OmniDisk has the cannon shots on it from the 1812
that Telarc recorded.  I bought the 1812 record a couple of years ago, and it
is fantastic.  This is the first recording of the piece I have heard in which
the cannons do not sound like someone beating on garbage cans with baseball
bats.  I played the record for my father and his unconcious reaction to the
first cannon shot was to duck.  It is that realistic.

	It is rather difficult to track, however.  At slightly more than the
maximum recommended tracking force, I can still hear the stylus bouncing around
in the groove on the last shot, and the tone arm itself moves visibly.

	The best part, however, is the carillon.  It's hard to describe.
