Well said, Richard. Shame it's all been said before and fallen on deaf ears ;-(

   Hi,
   I've just got back from a week away to find this lot, and 
would really
   like to listen to Alice  Emily's sound.
   Sadly when I click on the link the RealPlayer box duly pops 
up, takes
   ages to load, then sits there refusing to do anything.
   It's probably something very computer illiterate I'm doing - any
   helpful comments would be welcome, please.
   As a fool stepping in where angels, etc. 
Bach's music can work fantastically on totally authentic period
   instruments, if the musicians are good enough.
His music can also work well with modern electrics, if the 
musicians
   are good enough.
   I believe JSB himself reckoned the piano would never catch on, as it
   was when he first heard it. Then it developed.
   Some musical experiments are regrettable, but if they don't speak to
   enough people they die out; if they do they live, and 
tastes change and
   develop.
   In the 70's I really liked folk rock, and Steel-eye Span; 
these days I
   prefer the more traditional bare-bones stuff I would have got bored
   with then.
   As a parallel, I happen to like small harps, and really 
don't like much
   of the sound of the (to my mind) over-developed full 
orchestral harp,
   but it seems to please a lot of intelligent people.
   Is it so terrible to push the boundaries?
   Who does the music belong to?
   Who needs protecting from what?
   Should we start a music and philosophy group   :)
   And I still can't get the clips to work.
   Richard.

   There may be one or two apart from Adrian interested in the Alice
   person.
   Here she is playing with Emily Hoile at the Chantry Museum 
last night
   for the Windy Gyle Band Force 6 launch. This won't be to everyone's
   liking but gives a flavour of what she  Emily get up to 
when left to
   their own devices. Aplogies for overloads, I started my 
Edirol running
   and then totally neglected the levels - Emily's harp shook 
the living
   daylights out of it!
