Tim McG Posted October 25, 2007 Report Posted October 25, 2007 I had a bell for a neighbor when I lived on campus during my college days. Quote
ejp626 Posted October 25, 2007 Report Posted October 25, 2007 Yep. Two doors down. It goes from 7 am ? to 11 pm. It chimes the hours and then just one ring on the half-hour. Personally, I think 10 pm would be a more reasonable stop time. It also goes crazy at some odd times -- 10:30 am on Sunday (for service, which I understand) but also on Saturdays, so I don't know what that's about. Quote
7/4 Posted October 25, 2007 Report Posted October 25, 2007 Yeah. Once they got it working, they stopped using it. I guess the other neighbors complained. Quote
JSngry Posted October 25, 2007 Report Posted October 25, 2007 Yeah, and it not only rings, but it can dance just as good as it walks. Quote
porcy62 Posted October 25, 2007 Report Posted October 25, 2007 Bells? I live in the center of Rome, don't tell me about bells! Quote
brownie Posted October 26, 2007 Report Posted October 26, 2007 Bells? I live in the center of Rome, don't tell me about bells! I live near Notre-Dame cathedral! This atheist just loves the sound of bells. Wish there were more religious celebrations to enjoy those sounds Quote
neveronfriday Posted October 27, 2007 Report Posted October 27, 2007 (edited) Bells? I live in the center of Rome, don't tell me about bells! I live near Notre-Dame cathedral! This atheist just loves the sound of bells. Wish there were more religious celebrations to enjoy those sounds That just proves that you French people all have a screw loose. I live inbetween a Catholic (100 meters away) and a Protestant (15 meters away) church. I'm bombarded with bells ringing at every opportunity. Although this is a rather small village, I have the feeling that people are dying and marrying at the rate of two per minute. Of course - this being the older part of the village - not a soul inside of these churches is sticking to any laws and they ring dem bells like there's no tomorrow. Additionally, the Protestant church seems to be harbouring at least two completely underworked Quasimodos who ring those bells just to spite the entire village. The two churches in the newer part of the village (did I ever mention that we have too many churches here?) do NOT do any of this, simply because the mayor of the village lives inbetween those other two churches up there. The guy apparently needs his sleep. All of this is just observation and not really complaining since I moved into the spot voluntarily. But there have been days when I was just about to send Al Qaida the location of two centrally located targets which are reasonably easy to hit with a single strike if you plot the proper trajectory. My bed moves every time those Protestant bells ring. I did try - on a warm summer Sunday morning - to overpower the noise after 25 minutes by opening my windows and adding Mussorgsky's "Night on a Bald Mountain" (original orchestration!) at full blast , but when I looked out of the window to check for a reaction from the congregation, I only met the eyes of the priest standing outside his church, listening, smiling and - when he saw me - giving me the thumbs up ... only to disappear into his church and simply letting the bells ring 5 minutes longer than usually. Resistance is futile. Edited October 27, 2007 by neveronfriday Quote

neveronfriday Posted October 27, 2007 Report Posted October 27, 2007 I know their sound is also a lot more musical and soothing. Great bells to have in the neighborhood. Quote
porcy62 Posted October 27, 2007 Report Posted October 27, 2007 (edited) I know their sound is also a lot more musical and soothing. Great bells to have in the neighborhood. Over here they replaced real bells with recorded bells, they play the real bells only for big events. From what I hear from my house they didn't employed RVG or Roy DuNann as recording engineers and the amplification system is far away from the ones at Pink Floyd's or Genesis' concerts. Worst of all I suspect they use hard disk digital recording. Edited October 27, 2007 by porcy62 Quote

Benedetti means Blessed and is very close to italian surname Bendetto ( Bendict ) So Dean Benedetti is very similar to Father Blessed AND Father Benedict...and yes the sound quality is similar. A argute post Sidewinder, if you knew italian. Congrats. Edited October 27, 2007 by porcy62 Quote
