Ciaran, it was posted with the best of intentions, that is: to bring it to member's attention lest they miss the opportunity to hear the programme if not already aware of it. The space limitations on the thread title prevented me from mentioning the fact that it is the music of a JC and not that of the great man himself, on reading the thread that becomes very obvious, I feel.
