Franz Liszt, maybe, but not Ludwig Van. ;) Btw, it may interest some to know that the Amish consider instruments a worldly vanity. No instruments are used in their music, which is virtually all church music. A friend here who visits Amish country regularly tells me that everyone in an Amish family sings, and as far as he could tell they all sing quite nicely. He said that their entertainments often took the form of after-meal family singing. Would that more of us might do likewise... :) Best, dp _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
