Well to each to his own. Bolero is about my least favorite piece in the
universe.

When I was stationed in Thailand in 1973 I had some neighbors who played
it all the time on their quadraplex (sp?) stereo). It was actually one
room removed from the common wall and most I could hear the bass.

Boom - rest - Boom, Boom, Boom, rest, Boom, Boom, Boom, etc.
