Subject: RE: tune id: o shokuns farewell
I wouldn't call Ashokan Farewell a slow air, not by a long chalk. And that version they play on Classic FM is the most turgid you'll ever hear. Completely bereft of any rhythmic sense and, well, a crashing bore. The first version I heard was played by Pauline Cato and Tom McConville, and is still the best I've heard by a country mile.
