 ML>> forces and many decibels. I mean, the Royal Fireworks

That would tend to confuse things a bit...  :)

 NB>> no ordnance involved with the Water Music...  That just got played

 ML> To the degree that one wanted to blow up the barge.

Perhaps.  ;)

 NB>> Dunno...  I rather enjoy hearing it once a season...

I used to like to do that with the original milk chocolate covered ones.
I've tried doing it with Lori's versions, and the middle isn't quite
like the original either... it's more crunchy and doesn't fall apart
quite right...

That looked potentially good... :)
