Hey, steveo. Italian 101!

the only italian i know is spanish and a little french
Avatar 3:31pm
northguineahills:

I have enough trouble going from Mexi-Spanish to Castillian Spanish, then there is Portuguese..., Sicilian Italian is easier for me to understand then Tuscan. French, my brain categorizes it as a total different language group even though I know they are all Romance languages (forget about Romanian).

Nice, ngh. The only thing I have left from my Italian class in music school is the accent, and a love of true balsamic.

oh, ngh. I'm blanking. Is it this: The Harbour Symphony was conceived for the first Sound Symposium in 1983 by Newfoundland-based architect Joe Carter. He enlisted musician Paul Steffler to write a series of compositions for ships’ horns.

Stanley, you should hear the whole 70 minute version!
Avatar 4:32pm
northguineahills:

@steveo: I didn't even see the song/album title, I just thought, is that a shofar I'm hearing, and I saw "ram's horn" in the comments description and went for it.

Oldest English pun since the early 20th c.
