I'm ten minutes in and it's holding my attention.,
And now there was no doubt that the trees were really moving - moving in and out through one another as if in a complicated country dance. ('And I suppose,' thought Lucy, 'when trees dance, it must be a very, very country dance indeed.')

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.

Very interesting. "A Fairytale of New York" is a big favorite of mine, but I didn't know that the band struggled with it as a work in progress for as long as they did. Obviously they knew they were on to something worthwhile, otherwise they'd have dropped it. I'm glad they didn't. :)
