[QUOTE="andrew gissing, post: 32059, member: 75"] Re: How am I supposed to know what it's supposed to sound like? A well known australian Jazz musician - James Morrison - was asked to play the spanish national anthem a few years back at the Australian Tennis open. He was given a CD and told which track to play. He committed it to memory so it would look better on tv - not having a music stand. Immediately after playing he had the Spanish Ambassador in his facing saying "that was NOT the Spanish National anythem". Turns out there are two and both were on the CD. The one he played was from the "second spanish republic" period from 1931-1939. How was he to know any different when told what track to learn ? I heard that story from James himself a week after it happened and to hear him tell the tale was a real special memory of mine. Andrew [/QUOTE]
