Thanks Amos. I asked the person selling it if it can be played softly. He assured me that it can. Don't want to be disturbing the peace or anything ;-)
Steve, the problem is not with your neural connections. You just have a much better grasp of whatever genre of music "Pearly Shells" belongs to than I do. I must admit to never having heard the name before, at least not that I can remember anyway.
Right on, Gareth!
