Not on the thread that I propose, this one has special emotion for me.

Early in the morning of our honeymoon, getting ready to view the hamninimuls sipping water from the creek just outside the balcony of our treetops room in Kenya (which I still insist upon calling Keenya rather than Kennya) the bloke in the next room started up his violin and played this piece solo.

It's a matter of fact that whichever one of us predeceases the other will have this piece played by the best available violinist at one's funeral. I greatly hope that that it will be me, not her, upon whose ears fall into the pine box.

Hear's what it sounds like, alive, played well, sans bois.



The Paganini piece is an extraneous but totally brilliant add-on.

"They say when you leave Africa, you leave a part of your soul behind"... confounded place...

All this talk of Kenya, got me back into Happy Valley mode... :)

If I create that thread, your one will top the header.

It even made someone indoors cry when she heard it on the Bang og Olofsen in my study

Thanks to you, Puddock, I've now got domestic permission to buy a DA62 and do a steep turn with inboard wingtip very close over the ears and nostrils of gruntie things in front/back of Chateau Batetti.

Are B&O UK still headquartered in Gloucester?
They used to be one of my customers.
An odd lot they were.

I thort B&O wuz Danish.

I temember, circa1971 I think, lying down on the shag-pile carpet with a B&O speaker close to each ear when hifi earphones hadn't yet been invented,

I didn't do drugs or alchohol. Still don't, other than good Scotch.

Good moozick still does my head in, though.

It's damn near good enough to have been made in China.

The 'made in a Murrica' crap is just shite.

I am disappointed that nobody has mentioned Linn Sondek, Glasgow, marble platters and the archetypal LP12...or Acoustic Research speakers, or even NAD amps... and nary a word about Amar Bose (I was a big fan of the company's electrostatic speakers).

Of course nobody's amp's went up to No.11 save...



=))

Just enjoy the Doubly (er I mean the Dolby)...., :))

It is.

I was referring to their UK operation.

It was a Warehousing/Distribution/Accounting set up, in Gloucester.
