Some time back I was browsing in an inexpensive/cheap dress shop obviously intended for women much younger than me. I think I was the oldest person there! Certainly I was the only one ready to ask the assistant if her radio was just off the station as it sounded distorted to me. On second thoughts I left before I could be told that was how the music was meant to be. And the clothing was not meant for me, either, being far too small & short & skimpy & ...

Another, better time I was in a junk shop (bargain shop) where the music was so intriguing & enjoyable that I eventually asked the assistant what it was. It was Sarah Brightman's Eden which I'll get one day soon. My introduction to Loreena McKennet also came in a shop - this one was the kind that sold candles, books on meditation & spiritual growth & other peaceful things. I was listening to the music when a strolling band of South American buskers came wandering past & stopped outside. I still managed to listen to enough of her to decide I liked it.
