Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.

Isn't your friend thinking of - or adapting - Malcolm Williamson's observation about Andrew Lloyd Webber, namely that his music is everywhere - but then so is AIDS? See p.273 of https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=...webber&f=false for a follow-up to this in which he apparently topped it by apologising - to people with AIDS. Alan Jay Lerner's retort, in the same paragraph, to ALW's question as to why people took an instant dislike to him rounds this off nicely - "it saves time".Originally posted by Roslynmuse View Post

Indeed, provided that one has a wood burning stove on which to use it; mind you, mightn't they give off noxious fumes when set alight?Originally posted by ferneyhoughgeliebte View PostComment
