I too am a fan of Classical music.
But, as I said, we have to appeal to a broader crowd these days, so I was going for something that NOBODY in their right mind would object to. At least not publicly, you can't be cooool and dislike jazz all at the same time.

If we're getting new furniture, perhaps we could go with one of those live performer gigs, ya know, alternate John Luke and his guitar with Kangi's Harp-and-Tank ensemble' des chambre'.....(I know that's French 'cuz the e's are on the end), Yes, I think that we could have that going on in the lobby while spa women imported by Ylva put that expensive mud stuff on our Metromanicured faces.....
Do you think we should have a soothing fountain thingy in the foyer?
