It was fun. As long as a man and woman were singing a duet, I enjoyed it; it's when the women went solo and were super-soprano that it was at odds with my taste.Sarah Siegelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16450372333989477835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2899086331107445618.post-704183418023711802007-12-17T22:14:00.000-05:002007-12-17T22:14:00.000-05:00May you never be a member of the cancer society.

He both listens to it and sings it. I imagine that's what you hear blared over the loudspeakers. I can imagine how grating that must be. I can enjoy Carnatic vocals occasionally, but it can be definitely jarring to western ears.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
