Dear Marek:

Apparently thereafter, you learned to listen as you wrote on May 19  
after seeing Swing Gitanes:

"Oh that interplay between the leader Yaakov Hoter and the other  
guitarist, Ori Ben-Zvi!  The transition is so smooth one can hardly  
notice it, even after a few seconds one becomes aware of the  
difference in sound (I tend to listen to music with my eyes closed -  
helps to open one's ears)."

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
