You know how it goes, Oliver. It's always in the last place you look for it.
"you found that CD yet?"
"Yes, in the washing machine but I thought I'd keep looking. It was such fun, and you never know what else you might find".

Oh yes, have you come across anything interesting in your searches Ollie? Any other long-lost disks or antique instruments of particular renown? |

I recommend you make yourself a nice stack of pancakes for breakfast. Your CD will be in between them somewhere. That's where they always turn up for me, where I least expect them.
Alternatively, it might be hiding inside a watermelon. Try slicing one open for a surprise!

Have you tried here?  Or here?  Or maybe you were using it for jousting practice (Australian Rules) and left it outside when bringing the kangaroo in for the night? It's very easy to do.  |

Have you purchased any percussion instruments recently? Only, a triangle from Bermuda might have caused problems.

Ollie, Does this help? http://mekentosj.com/disctop/If that doesn't work, try Veronika's Sock Drawer - a marsupial may have half-inched it. If you're still looking around, I don't suppose you could keep an eye out for an LP of mine. Barber Violin Concerto and Piano Concerto with Stern/nypo/Bernstein and Browning/PO/Szell. I lent my first copy to the organ scholar at college when I was there, and the sticky-fingered dam bustard buggered off to the states without returning it. Luckilly I got my hands on another copy 3 years later, which I lent to a violinist friend who swears he returned it. Did he send it to your abode by mistake? It's black, about 12" and round. Thanks Tommo PS If anyone sees a CD "The Most Beautiful Folk Songs of Moravia, Volume 1" without a case, it's mine. |

Tommo, definitely not guilty! My copy of the Barber Piano Concerto is that performance, but in its original coupling, with William Schuman's A Song of Orpheus, for cello and orchestra (Rose/Cleveland/Szell). Sorry.
What I just can't find anywhere is the transfer to CD of David Del Tredici's Final Alice made for me just before I left Reading, or the other discs which were with it by the little music centre in the kitchen. (Now there's a thought; did they end up in a box with all the kitchen bits which were already duplicated up here, and thus stored without being opened?)

Is it just the CD that's lost? Still got the case Ollie, and the booklet?

Nope, John - it's all gone. I can see though that unless someone gives me a perfectly accurate description of where it actually is (which will doubtless become clear as soon as the new one arrives) I'm going to have to send the new one to the winner of the 'most amusing' contest. And that will make for tricky judging. Er, except for you, Biroc. I'm afraid you'll have to do better than that  Veronika? You out there? Is there a Graupner in your sock drawer? |

A few months ago I lent my DVD of the second series of "The Office" to a German musicologist (thinking, as one does, that such a person must be the very model of responsibility), who has lost it but has not offered to replace it. I rest my case.
He probably has your Graupner CD as well, Ollie.

Do you have central heating with double wall radiators? Has it lodged itself down there? Is it in a slip-case for a different boxed CD set? Underneath a piece of hi-fi? Did you take it on your travels and leave it elsewhere?
I reckon a Graupner groupie's grabbed it.
