If anyone was wondering, I'm still compiling 10@10 "fantasy" sets.  I'm just in the process of setting up a new computer, and I'm slowly transferring files (including those 10@10 sets).  Hopefully I'll have some new sets up by the end of the week for your listening pleasure!

Today's Concert 4 Kidz set reminds me to compile a Christmas set soon.  Any suggestions?
