a longer way to
When I was a boy (before TV appeared and long years before stereo tec was developed) I listened to a german radio reporter, travelling with his wife across Great Britain. Their main interest was folk music and theater. Their journey did last about one year and every week a new report was sent out. Such a report filled a whole evening - did last some hours. Remember, my home country Lower Saxony was in the british military zone after WWII and people begun to found international friendships. The reports did talk to a good part about the british speciality to ring church bells - never again heard on the globe - including many music examples. Not needed to say, I forgot alot from the many details, I have heard - only one times with ear near my grandmothers radio. This is a very old tradition and done after strictly rules like all music will be done as a very precise art.

Why I came to Durham?
Brenda Jackson is again in Germany. She is from Durham and I liked to learn more about her home town - and I am very enjoyed to learn now about this kind of church music. Another thing I learned is a bit about the past of the Eastern british industry districts - Durham is in center of mining areas. That will say alot about environment emmissions - one of the reasons why people will have a weak health. Brenda showed me a small photo collection of Durham (with the cathedral) once she arrived first times in Germany, but such informations had to be changed in a hurry and naturally incomplete.
