Visiting Vienna returns with two great sites to surf
Donna Mitchell takes us on a trip to Vienna through her camera's lens, as well as informing us about Johann Strauss' brother in this excellently put-together site. Meanwhile, Phillip Webb takes us on a tour of his career in his easy-to-follow site.
Halloween's over, but there's always next year

Featured Music
Background Sound
The 1812 Overture features some of the loudest sections of any classical (or any musical form, for that matter) music, due to the fact that the parts are sometimes played by cannon. Learn a bit about the piece's history, while you listen to a MIDI arrangement of it. (You might want to get your ear plugs out!)
Austrian Surfing Music New!
"Marientraum (St. Mary's Dream)" is a folk song arranged for mixed voices by Wilhelm Keller and sung by the Salzburger Volksliedchor, a folk music choir. Check it out with your RealPlayer G2.
