When he started the Tallis Scholars, Peter Phillips had no idea whether they would be successful, but, if he were given the choice to travel the world with prepubescent boys or with grown women, he'd take the grown women...
When I met him I told him that I hoped he would not mind if I told him that my favorite TTS CD was one of the most obscure. He brightened up a bit and asked which one, and when I told him Isaac's Missa de Apostolis, he exclaimed, "One of my favorites!"
Of course, that could be just his being a smart cookie.
BTW, you missed my favowite cringe-inducing Brit musical tic:
"Father, Son, and Holy Ghosse..."
ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!

From time to time I, totally involuntarily, come forth with Soppnerisms.
Oops, I really meant to type Spoonerisms.
Years ago I was at a reception for newly-arrived grad students and professional students and when asked what my undergraduate major had been, I started by saying that I entered Brown as a French Literature major, and then humblebragged "and to this day, I can remember Frenches of Snatch poetry."
In the stunned silence that followed, I blushingly assured one and all that I could never come up with something like that, even if I tried.
I also introduced a girlfriend to the parents of a friend of mine, calling her "Dana, the bed breaker" instead of "Dana, the bread baker."
There have been others.
