The ringer sits in front of a giant, albeit simplified, keyboard consisting of wooden knobs, and bashes away with clenched fists. This must require immense concentration if the basher is able to hear his own music-making since there must be a significant delay (and thus an overlap) in the process.<br /><br />Church bells figured rather pleasingly in a programme about music that appeared on telly in late 2011. I posted about it.

I do sometimes wonder whether, with the excessive host of silence-blanking, cortex-swamping, indiscriminate paraphernalia of modern life, memories as individual joys (or sadnesses) can exist for many people. Or is it simply an undifferentiated mush? I do hope not, for there is a time to be busy, but also a time to be observantly silent.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09028121782477111901noreply@blogger.com
