OK mixed views here - thanks everyone for replying.

MmeLindor and Delia - so pleased you like Orpheus. Yes my thought behind it is - I would so love for him to be musical. I am more into percussion myself, so perhaps he will take up drums or something! :)

I think the greatest gift of music is to share it with others, particularly those closest to us :) Thanks

I think it is beautiful. He will clearly have a promising career as a professional bongo player ahead of him.

OP my initial thought was no but on further consideration I agree with MmeLindor. If he was as musical as his namesake he could entertain his neighbours of an evening with the lovely sounds coming from his house.

No, moaning is right, pretentious.

He had his head ripped off by a band of raving maenads. No.

MmeLindor · 08/09/2012 23:59
