Thread Name: Preference or Snobbish?
Subject: RE: Preference or Snobbish?
I like neither opera nor jazz but don't conider it bad music. I just don't understand it and that is purely down to me. At the folk club, blues do not to too much for me and I find Irish sesions get a bit too much for me after a while. Scottish or English dance however I could listen too for hours while I know it leaves a lot of people cold. Wouldn't life be boring if we were all the same!

I loved the Andreas Scholl clip for all the wrong reasons. I was in fits of giggles already when I realised the falsetto bits were just like the Black Adder theme music from the Elisabethan series. Then when he pronounces 'pony' as 'ponny' I had visions of an old Steptoe Sketch where Albert kept pronoucing Polo Ponies as Polloponnies. I know I shouldn't laugh as I guess, by his sname, English is not his first language but I am an evil bastard at times... :-D
