Welcome to Heather Palmer's Music page
Here is a selection of music that appeals to me. I like classical as well as pop music, but there are not many on-line videos of classical performances. Don't try to play the videos all at once!! They might take a several seconds to download, please be patient.
Please note: if you are using a 64-bit computer none of these videos from You-Tube will work, as Flash does not yet have a version for 64-bit systems. You could try to download the 32-bit version of your browser, e.g. Internet Explorer. Go to this website to read how to do it, but only try it if you are an experienced user: www.ehow.com/how_5865152_change-internet-browser-32-bits.html.
