Vanilla Ice vs MC Hammer
I wonder what would happen if we suddenly cross-posted a whole heap of
stuff about the relative merits of holbein stitch and backstitch. Whether it's better to stitch on aida or evenweave. Whether DMC or Anchor has the superior colour range, etc. D'you think they'd cope with our doggerel as well as we have with theirs? Just a thought... (NB. They're playing a Bach Cello Concerto on ABCFM at the moment and I tell you solomonly, it far outstrips anything Mr Ice or Mr Hammer could possibly offer in terms of enrichment or spiritual uplift!) -- Trish {|:-} Newcastle, NSW, Australia |

Amen again. Hmmmmmmm, perhaps we should also discuss the relative merits of Bach vs. Buxtehude? -- Karen C - California Editor/Proofreader www.IntlProofingConsortium.com Finished 5/21/08 - Helping the Hummers WIP: Christmas Music Bellpull, Oriental Kimono (Janlynn), MLI The Teacher (gift to the library), Bethany Angel, Flowers of Hawaii (Jeanette Crews) for ME!!!

Have just returned from an afternoon concert by the Oxford Singers (part of the St Magnus Festival) which was really a rehearsal for their main concerts later this week. Listening to a 25-strong choir singing Byrd, Purcell, Buxtehude and JS Bach in the wonderful acoustics of our kirk was quite an uplifting experience. Bruce |

On the bus this morning there was a young fellow with an iPod. He was
sitting several metres away, but I could clearly hear it. That relentless bash bash 4/4 rhythm was like some kind of torture. What it was doing to his brain, let alone his ears, I hate to imagine. So give me Bach any time. Not so much into Buxtehude, but I like him too. Mind you, I can't get into Bach's vocal music, so the masses and cantatas are a dead loss to me, but all his other stuff I enjoy. In fact I have the complete Bach organ works, as well as pretty much all of his other manual keyboard music, on my iPod. I felt like getting mine out this morning and competing with that poor rock fan. Johnno |

Yes you're right, it's the volume that does the damage. I always say
to students using iPods that if I can hear it then it's doing them damage. Not that they believe anything could possibly ever happen to them. I'm chuckling at the mental image of all those tattoos on saggy arms! Johnno |

There is a young (21 or 22 years old) German named Felix Hell who has played
all the Bach organ works in couple of marathon sessions. I did not get a chance to hear him at any of those sessions but he currently teaches organ at the Sunderman Conservatory at Gettysburg College so we have heard him playing Bach and other composers quite often. I know he travels a lot although most of his concerts are in the US or Germany but if you ever get a chance to hear him it is well worth it to make the effort to do so. Beverly B So give me Bach any time. Not so much into Buxtehude, but I like him too.
