The Fusion Reactor #80 - Perfect Ten

This week was focusing on songs between 10 and 11 minutes long, sort of like the series with sevens and eights a while back. Yes, I skipped nine, so sue me. I'll probably get to that one of these days. This loose collection of songs had little in common other than their length.

The Fusion Reactor #78 - Violin, part 2

Part 2. Where things get really interesting. Not that part 1 wasn't great, but this is not just a sequel because the first one was such a huge hit. We're not riding on coattails here, this is just because I had to fit this stuff in or be forever depressed that my violin show didn't have these tunes. "What tunes?" you ask. These tunes:
