I've booked my plot and chosen the music. I'll be going out to the strains of Eric Idle's "Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life" ------------- Bob Majestic DAC/pre-amp Accession MC/Enigma, Accession MM, Reflex M, Elevator EXP, Era Gold V Solo ULDE, Novo, Lautus USB and digital, Libran balanced, CuSat50 2 x Proprius + Spatia/Spatia Links |

I'm impressed you know the key, Andrew!  I haven't seen the music nor am blessed (or should that be cursed?) with perfect pitch . . . Maybe I should use a Morris dance in A minor to really live up to (die to!) my internet monicker?  ------------- Bob Majestic DAC/pre-amp Accession MC/Enigma, Accession MM, Reflex M, Elevator EXP, Era Gold V Solo ULDE, Novo, Lautus USB and digital, Libran balanced, CuSat50 2 x Proprius + Spatia/Spatia Links |

@Andrew you made me laugh out loud there! Thank you. @Bob you'd be surprised how many songs start in A minor. But it's not the saddest of all keys. That would be D minor as any Tap-head would tell you. Good point about "in 2016" - I also wish you all well for 2017 and beyond, as you realised! ------------- Jon Open mind and ears whilst owning GSP Genera, Accession M, Accession MC, Elevator EXP, Solo ULDE, Proprius amps, Cusat50 cables, Lautus digital cable, Spatia cables and links, and a Majestic DAC. |
