BS: For Fun Only

For no particular reason, for fun, for a laugh. I was looking for files of English change ringing, an especially erudite form of non-folk, when I found a recording of the bells a Nether Wallop. Is there anything more to say? It's here:

Links are not my thing. Copy and paste works fine.

Library of Bell Recordings by John R Ketteringham Lincoln, England seems to be a good index. I have a CD Church Bells of England (Saydisc CD-SDL 378) [16 recordings from 16 towers].

Thanks for the info, John from Hull, but I can't listen in San Francisco.

You might enjoy a classic mystery novel called "The Adventure of the Nine Tailors", but a famous woman author whose name escapes me at the moment. The whole thing hangs on ringing the changes, and you 'll learn a lot about it.

The Nine Tailors: Changes Rung on an Old Theme in Two Short Touches and Two Full Peals is by Dorothy Leigh Sayers, creator of Lord Peter Wimsey, and this in fact is another Lord Peter Wimsey mystery. I only know that because I looked it up on amazon.com, but I think I might just read it. Having no idea how they get the bells to do that, and having a fondness for the occasional mystery story, it sounds like it's just the right thing to keep me from working on my book.

Aloha,
