HOW many violins?!



It is a grey, damp, miserable and very slow Sunday, and not worth going out anywhere. It also happens to be 105 years tomorrow since the birth of the King of "Sunday Music" Annunzio Mantovani - the man who introduced the sound of "cascading strings" to the airwaves, and regularly featured artist on those freebie cover disks my Grandad used to get with Reader's Digest.
