I know it's off-topic, but I just had to share.

A Celtic band....from Sweden(!!??) But they're really very good. What's next? Do Wop from Madagascar?

Music is truly universal. )

Back in the mid-nineties, I was regularly attending a bluegrass jam at a local joint. One night a fellow banjo player showed up with a group of Russians in tow who could speak not a word of English. Turned out they were a bluegrass band touring N.A. They were really good, sang with not a trace of accent, knew the words to a zillion songs, mostly hadn't a clue what the words meant.

This phenomenon is also really widespread in Japan. You can see lots of it on youtube.

How can the first post in the thread be "off topic"?

Thinking that it wasn't strictly about the usual FL topic range, that's all.[huh]
