Thanks, Moose, Paul, and Phillipe.
Phillipe, check out their Web site, there are videos of a couple of
their songs.
Moose, you'll love this. At the archeological park near Syracusa,
Sicily, there is a cave called Dionysius' Ear. It has amazing
acoustics--outside, you can hear anything people are saying inside. And
inside, it resonates and echoes beautifully. People love to sing in the
cave. While we were there, an Italian lady sang a couple of
songs--beautifully. Then I decided to sing the bass part to "Matona Mia
Cara," a rather racy 16th-century Italian madrigal wherein a German
mercenary soldier tries to woo a local lady in very bad Italian.

And the Italian lady looked at me and said: "Oh, yes, I remember that
one." And gave me a big grin.

tell you that they were *good*. Way good. Here are a few shots from
the show. Rachel is the one with the dark curly hair.

were the only ones at the stop, we started singing for fun. As more
people gathered for the tram, we gained an impromptu audience. When we
stopped as the tram approached, we got a nice ovation! ( seven altos and
sopranos - and one baritone. ;-) ) On the train, one of us heard one
woman saying to another "They were really good" Yowsa!
