  1. Enjoy it. Music really doesn't float my boat - though I can see that I am missing out because of that.

    1. I enjoy(ed), Sue. It's not but about music, but about poetry, politics and more. Fascinating artists, all three ... but I'am just realising I am running the risk of getting loquacious ...

    1. No, it was neither Don QuiScottie nor Andrew, although we do still look at some blogs occasionally we no longer comment (except for the fact that this is a comment, I suppose). We would certainly never comment anonymously so you would need to direct any future guesses elsewhere. Andrew DonQuiScottie MacLaren Scott Robertson Scott (et al).

    2. Ach! Neither Don QuiScottie nor Andrew?! Maurice Flitcraft II. then, enjoying the British Open with a wildcard? Why would I not be surprised, Tiger Andrew?

  4. The complete poem (in spanish with dutch translation) is lying next to my bed for sleepless nights. But this part of the Canto General is my favorite, because of Theodorakis composition and the beautiful warm voice of Maria Farantouri...
