Well, you don't have to wear a corset. There's just no point wearing
anything else without one, though.

Arrg! Do you need help moving? I think that being on one of the feeder routes
for the Notting Hill Carnival is enough to make me leave the city for that
weekend :) Not that I don't like Reggie (Bob Marley excluded) and Soca but it's
all that electric stuff :(

The other way round for me, Baroque to Romantic. My wife likes Classical to
modern, there is a fair overlap.

The play is a fantasy with music. It reminds me a bit of "The rakes progress"
and the "Tales of Hoffman", not musically of course :) I say it at the RNT in
about 2000.

To hear it is to remember it :) There should be a mp3 on the internet and I
think that Mozart would only recognise the idea :)
Young man you too girlie girlie
you just a flash it round the worldie.
Him have one up here
one down there
One in Hanover
one down a vere.
One she's a lawyer
one she's a doctor
It goes on a bit :)
And since the world and his wife are doing it:
Listening to Mozart Variations on the piano by someone.

Well, we've been here for 7 years now, as have they. But the owner of
the house passed away in August and I understand his wife wants to sell
the property; as the bands are all renters, we can but hope. There is a
joke going around the neighborhood (I know, I started it) suggesting that
the neighborhood pool their money and buy it, level the house, and make a
park out of it. :-)

I used to surprise people by being very picky about the music I'd listen
to, but then I'd throw in some Queen or Eagles, just to throw them (well
not *just* to throw them, I happen to like those two bands as well). Or
Satriani.

That makes sense; I'll have to keep my eyes open for it showing up here.

Looks like it could be, uh, interesting. ;-)

Right now not listening to music from Fellowship of the Ring. (Good
modern film scores are something I really like, too).

Yeah, but if it comes down to doing it yourself or letting some guy in a
studio do it...

That's one of the reasons I like Journey of the Sorcerer so well - the
banjo. (Douglas Adams spec'ed the theme as "something spacy/electronic
sounding, but it must have a banjo").

That doesn't sound anywhere near as good. :-)
