Did anyone see the program on BBC 4 last night about the Nubians in the Sudan...it started off with stones you could play tunes on..like bells...that's what you call music from megaliths

This may interest you Mr H....a major object of desire in our house.

As for music at the stones, I'm old school and prefer the soundtrack that's already there.
