Viridian - Being an afficiando of eccentricity of sorts (in the fine English manner), the stranger the better indeed! I had never thought of mono Miles... I will (being utterly earnest!) now.
Hail Gregm! I imagine the complete animal (man or woman) does --unashamedly-- cry. Hot crocodile tears have welled up a few times, and come to think of it, I cannot put my finger on why, it was not a plangent wail, nor out of joy. Perhaps the reproduced music acted as an agent abetting cathartic hubristic resolution of various ruminations summoned from slumber by the act of listening itself. This reply would not be original but that is why I am worthy of being called lowly A'non only - and not the venerable Aristotle (Poetics).
Other worthy fellows - let's hear some of your thoughts and anecdotes, lest we weep at the wall of silence ;)
