The message
from Victoria Clare contains these words: Oh, and the guy next door plays sentimental 30's ballads in his garden, when I would rather have rock, and his speakers aren't up to much either. Should I shoot him? I'll sell him some decent speakers. If he refuses to buy, you can shoot him then. -- Rusty Open the creaking gate to make a horrid.squeak, then lower the foobar. http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |

And if you want any volume of an orgy of organ, see if you can get a recording of Havergal Brian's Gothic Symphony - scored for (IIRC) triple organ and double orchestra..... That one, if I remember correctly, was used as part of a theme tune, played years ago on a Children's TV Programme, something to do with "Mrs Black and her horrible Handbag" Whenever I see Maggie Thatcher she always seemed to have a horrible handbag and it rang bells :-)) Mike |
