Now I love Bach, so I put on MY 3rd Brandenburg. Things escalated. My roommate and I went through 2 conventional recordings, Wendy Carlos' switched on version, and the Jacques Loussier Trio Jazz version. Apparently conceding the match, the neighbor finished off with the 1812 Overture at 120 dbA. After the final chords, dead silence, followed by a single person applauding slowly. (a third neighbor in the apartment building). --Berry Kercheval, Zehntel Inc. ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
