There is also preserved in the annals the same writer's report of a
Metallica concert: "Truely passinge fair was a gentelman, not under middel
yeares, who did singe in souch a mannere as to putte thee verye
nightengales to shame, and whose his face was well paynted with Colours
that did so maketh him to seeme the very Devile. Thee theorboes did putte
mee in mynde of thee players in St. Markes, which, howsoever sweete had but
a still sound, but these evene exceeded by greate measure thee greate
organs playing alle sevene together, so greate was their noise."
He goes on to discuss Petula Clark, and compares her to Dante. john
