Music of the world

Was at a Finnish embassy reception this evening, in view of their EU presidency, and they had four singers performing beautifully melodious songs. Finnish is one of the most pleasant languages to listen to - I guess euphonic is the right adjective - that I come into contact with. Can't understand a word, of course, but I love hearing it

Thank you. That was beautiful, and much needed today. I really needed some class. It reminded me of a very strange tape that a very old man who was driving us away from the Taba border crossing in the middle of the night in a taxi cab in Egypt had. I hadn't been able to find anything like that.
My friend from South Africa (who lives here now) is personally affronted that we did not tell her about the Romanians (aren't some of O'Zone from there too?) a year before. I don't know.
It's nice to know that once you leave Austin, people in the rest of the world think rock stars are something COMPLETELY different.
Thanks for the beauty, at any rate ...
