Having disgraced myself on another thread by (sort of) defending Britney Spears, I feel I must atempt to salvage my credibility by asking a question about "serious" music, to whit...Are there any Indian classical music experts on the forum? I've just...

It's taken me a while to discover this eponymous album from the said Mexicans, but it's an utter delight.Very simple - they're both just playing acoustic Spanish guitars, which they use to produce all the percussive sounds too.This is beautifully...

In the Piccadilly Virgin megastore yesterday, I heard what I thought were the opening notes of HMHB's 'Sensitive Outsider', but it turned out to be a prog rock/HM track by some shouty Americans. Now, did they 'borrow' the riff from HMHB, or vice-versa?

I saw a show where Paul McCartney said "I found a left-handled mandolin and bought it" ... I wonder if left-handed instruments make much difference .. I would assume that [say] playing the violin both hands have to work as hard as each other. The only instrument I know is the piano [and it is sort of curious that the piano and the organ are probably the only instruments where the player never [?] uses his/her own at concerts]. James H,
