Yes, no surprise there really....that was the answer that I was expecting.Jared wrote:I tend not to get as much reaction to plainchant or pure vocal polyphony as I do to say, Mozart or Mendelssohn, which I guess is to be expected... but it created a tremendous sound which resonates around my desk...fergus wrote: What sort of a reaction are you getting to that playlist Jared?
Good for you!!I'm a convert, at any rate!!

I am not too bad as I compromised on a 6:00am start this morning Jared because I want to get up at 4:00am tomorrow to watch the Wales Vs. Samoa match live; that should be a good one!Jared wrote:Oh, Fergus is going to be grinning like a Cheshire Cat!
