Yup...

In fact, I have an increadible vintage 78 recorded in the late 19th century.
Apparently the artist was mute and didn't play any instruments (his stage
name was Ol' Mute Johnny). You can just hear him being silent and brood over
his misfortune for about 2 mn 58 s. Absolutely stunning stuff !

Good one, Sam, as always... Sometimes I wonder if you're not the main reason
I still subscribe to the L ;-)
