@LUKISSIMO: don't hold it against me, I'm hopping into DeB and reading the latest comments... You start off by saying to CHAE, "I can't stand those who spit out comments without knowing what they're talking about." So, which records of Nino D'Angelo have you listened to? (who is certainly not a genius, obviously. And thank goodness for that) And I advise you not to measure other people's intelligence, especially based on musical tastes, because, with the same parameter, and with all the understanding in the world, if this Van Des Sfross generates so much enthusiasm, we are not doing too well in terms of intelligence...

This discussion (no, maybe not this exact one, but some issues that could fit within it) would be quite interesting. But I'm so tired... and it already started off agitated, if I get involved I might cause trouble. So I’ll bid you farewell with a kiss.

Hi, Macaco. I don't think I know this one (my memory is a sieve), and I couldn't even "catch" it. But I'm glad to have seen you again. Say hi to the little one and best wishes.

Oh, Miss GEO@GEO, are you troubled then? Should I not have dared to converse with other users in your review? Are there rules of DeBon-ton today that I have unwittingly broken? I must indeed be sorry for that. Wait while I check... yes, I am. And so I beg your pardon. (However, I would clarify that I did not "respond" at all: I see no questions in the users’ posts. Pure pleasure of conversation. And certainly not on your behalf, but rather my own highly debatable one.) Ah, allow me to introduce myself: I am odradek. Now, Parkinson permitting, may I respond to Monsignor Sphascia? (If not, I will do so regardless, but it seemed nice to ask) - @Sphascia: One, who has not heard anything for a while. But you, it seems, frequent a little salon where I often pass by too (mentioned at the bottom of the card) and that always seems like such a nice feeling.

Damn, ZURK has reappeared! Hi!

@COELUM -p.s. Nice profile of yours, great way to be in DeB :))

@ENBAR77: yes, read it. Without a doubt, it's his most "accessible" and enjoyable work. But once you start, it's likely that you'll want to continue with the others. And Sacks writes a lot. I'm telling you this because it was the first Sacks book I gave to my wife over 20 years ago, and I had to keep going... :) - @COELUM: one very interesting thing from a neurological perspective is that music is, among those stimuli that do not act for reasons directly related to survival, the only one that the brain enjoys, to the extent that it reacts positively just from the knowledge that it will be listening to music. And if this topic interests you, "Musicophilia" will surely hold quite a few surprises for you...

Well, I’ll pass because I’ve read about the Kammerflimmer Kollektief: I don’t know their entire discography, but I do know a lot about Kammerflimmer. And they don’t seem very comparable to me. Anyway, I was just stopping by to express my devotion: I really like Kammerflimmer. - I will end up listening to this, though. Thanks for the recommendation.

But since when has Rockville changed management? It's true that it's been a while since I stopped by to see him... So we're also close: my office is nearby. Leaving aside the bagna cauda (sun terun, I write as I read), I can offer you lunch, at some bar in the area or a bit of the excellent pizza by the slice from V. Cibrario? - P.S. Are you from the school of thought that puts butter in the bagna? This, in fact, is a decisive matter.

Oh, I wrote my post before yours appeared... So Rock&Folk, yes, I see. But there, the really talented one was Marziano, like totally not "sunny" at all.
