Interesting story Phill  but  I'm not  sure  if  the  Hitler  reference  fits  into  the feel of the  song  I  totally  get  your  reason but as Hitler  stems  from another  point  in time ,this  to me  detracts  from the late  1800s feel  which the  subject  of  the  song  portrays .

good  song

No pete not  spam , but  I'll tell her  you  thought  her  name  sounded  like  a  disease she'll find  it  funny, Elpida  is an Australian Greek  so  she  understands  western humour .Her  name  translates  as  Hope.  She  has  an amazing  range  when she  lets  rip .

I've  just  down loaded it  also  mix pad  both  seem ok but  there   seems  a  bit  of  latency  in the  recording   when you  do  the  second  track   this  may  be  down to  the  mic  in my  computer   as  I  haven't  got  an interface  which works  with  windows 8  yet
