I used to see red carpets when people ask "I want to go there and there
where's the CD store?" etc.  I mean:  Aren't we classicallisteners rather
narrowminded eh? For a London visitor I would suggest if he wants to be
more cultured:  go and lock yourself up in the Tower (prison) for a while
and feel history come really close, instead of going to Tower records and
roam a shop that looks exactly as the one you have in your town!  Concerts
I will accept you attend only if you promise to hear something that is
something that will work more as an unique souvernir from that place.
