    Hi Chris

    You may be interested to know that Les Paul was also the designer of the studio underneath the Capitol Tower in Hollywood where some of Capitols finest records were made - Sinatra, Nat King Cole etc. Talented guy

    Sadly I think the studio has now closed

    Jessye Norman talking about Beim Schlafengehen. My second favourite classical song sung by my favourite soprano. That section alone was worth the whole series.

    Just been watching Dora O Briain's Science Club: Music on BBC 2. Covered a number of very interesting aspects including cutting a valve down to look at its construction.

    If you have the BBC i-player it's well worth a watch .

    Quite a good program (watched on iplayer). Now kicking myself for ignoring the previous episodes. They were a bit worried that the guest expert had destroyed a rare Telecaster but he said it was put back together - think that valve was a write off though. Brushed over the issue of computer music/autotune. It worries me someone teaching music/recording is pushing that technique as beneficial. Why didn't they show a 'proper' recording studio? The limit of hearing was interesting. I thought I could hear something at around 13khz over computer speakers (but even a couple of young audience members only reached 18khz).

    Paul.
