    Good info from silversurfer250 - shows the value of having us older folks around. We can, and do, provide sensible guidance for the youngsters. Not that they necessarily take much notice, of course.

    "According to Melua, the inspiration for the song came from when her interpreter during her time in Beijing[1], China, was showing her and her manager, Mike Batt, around the city. The interpreter gave them information about Beijing, including that there are supposedly nine million bicycles in the city. Batt wrote a song based around the title "Nine Million Bicycles" upon his return to England two weeks later, and it was one of the last songs to be recorded for Piece by Piece. Adrian Brett, who played the ethnic flutes on Batt's album Caravans (1978), contributed to the song; an ocarina was used for the low sounds, and a Chinese bamboo flute for the high sounds.[2]" https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Nine_Million_Bicycles

    Gegen Katie Melua machen alle anderen "Stars" nur belanglosen Lärm. Eine aussergewöhnliche Stimme...Ich liebe besonders diesen Song!
