Tell us something.: Been a fluter, citternist, and uilleann piper; committed now to the way of the harp.

Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps.

Was King Of The Fairies the source for El Condor Pasa? They're even in the same key...

Certainly the list of musical quotes in music old and new is a long one, including a quote of Rachmaninoff in 'Never Gonna Fall in Love Again', some Chopin in 'Could it be Magic' and bit of Beethoven in 'Midnight Blue'. So hey, why not such an inspiration for Stairway to Heaven?

Tell us something.: I've been playing whistle for a very long time, but never seem to get any better than I was about 10 years ago. I'm okay with that. :)

Thanks for the Millish link. I enjoyed that. Kinda reminded me of Fluke and Jethro Tull a bit.
