Dave,
Your revelation has come as a complete surprise. I had no idea. From your detailed knowledge I take that you've been a party to these goings on for quite some time?
So where does this "fully ventilated" style of singing originate? To be honest, I thought "open tuning" referred to something quite different.
However, I have heard that in Opera Houses they sometimes fit their older tenors with jubilee clips in order to keep the b***ers tune. What do ageing folk singers use? bailer twine?
Maybe we'll find out on Sunday.

I presume El Greco is aware of all this? It certainly makes you wonder about those jaunts down to Devon.
