I bemoaned the day they re-recorded the carrilon bells
sign-on----sacrelige!

When did that happen, do you recall? The current bells sound (to my ears
anyway) the same as the ones used in 1998 and 1978. The 1978 recording at
http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~RP4N-KWM...nd2/index.html seems to
suggest a slightly different key or pitch.

When did R. Netherlands abandon the short martial music intro that followed
the carillon? It's present in the 1978 recording and I remember it from the
mid-sixties but I can't recall when it disappeared.
