I'm sure it was a whole different experience in the Basilica. I don't know much about music, but I know what I like. Hearing Chanticleer is a transcendent experience.Javahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17377033663576614925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790159758366801958.post-75326370676361773522009-01-26T09:40:00.000-05:002009-01-26T09:40:00.000-05:00"even those songs whose language I did not underst..."even those songs whose language I did not understand or complexities I did not grasp were able to reach me on a visceral level."<BR/><BR/>So very true.

Now that's what church is for.<BR/><BR/>Reminds me of jazz flutist <A HREF="http://www.paulhornmusic.com/PHhome.htm" REL="nofollow">Paul Horn</A>, who once covertly recorded a flute solo inside the Taj Mahal. I think he was invited back subsequently.
