The old addage that the Devil has all the best tunes rings true.
After spending a couple of hours listening to and selecting wedding-related Church music -- solo arias, choiral pieces, entry and exit organ ditties -- I'm a bit jaded and in need of some (sic) secular noise pollution.
It's not just me with jangled nerves, but Emms, while soothed by the arias (good dog), became rather agitated by the organ stuff for entry and exit of church. A lot of this is in the high range and therefore somewhat bothersome to a doggie's sensitive ears.
So now I'm working my way through some early Zep and all's well at 'Stamford.' (I've been allowed to name the house after a football ground, btw). I'm soothed by the heavy bluesy music and so too is the pooch.
Strangely, it was dull, overcast and drizzly while we reviewed the church music, but now the sun's come out and it's a lovely early Spring evening.
It's true. The Devil really does have all the good tunes, and his exultation can seemingly effect climate change too.
Now if I can just figure out how to play 'Stairway To Heaven' backwards through iTunes..
