Ya gonna share it with us? On second thought... You can't since "Learning to Fly" is copyrighted. However, it does sound like you are having fun with it.

Are you a fan of that genre? -------------------- "I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me." -- Sir Isaac Newton Post Extras:       Joad Wordsmith Reged: 03/22/05 Posts: 11919 Re: Listen to Phoenix descend [Re: LadyAstronomer]       #2439427 - 06/04/08 01:41 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   I think that this resolves the old philosophical chestnut about trees falling in forests and sounds. It was accidental that this sound was picked up and we may have never heard it, but, yes, a sound was made. Quite remarkable.
