Precocious. Little. Clover. Devil

I was asked about the origins of a "ball" today, initially, I surmised that the room was shaped as a sphere, thus htere was a distinct possibility that the shape could have given rise to it's name.

Fortunately, it has nothing to do with that round sports equipment.

After much research, I have found that "ball" was derived from the latin word "ballare", which means "to dance". It is in fact, the root word for ballet, ballerina, ballad.

So, there.

Oh, and if I might dare ask. Does anyone know where besides Borders which has a wide collection of Blues/Jazz/Classical CDs? I'm searching for Glenn Miller's works, but to my dismay, I cannot seem to sind any.
