The most amazing renditions were in the Madrid underground and Gare du Nord where a string quartet was playing.HMS Defianthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10024721130102173694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198442674791729773.post-10328777400339672112017-05-18T12:49:21.150-04:002017-05-18T12:49:21.150-04:00That was beautifully done.That was beautifully done.Ron Snyderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01217389199007968254noreply@blogger.com
