[Magdalen] Leonard Cohen +RIP+

[James Oppenheimer-Crawford]

I know nothing about it. I'm not even sure what language the man spoke. All
I know is KH said it should be pronounced p' CHEL-bull.

I googled  <pronounce pachelbel>

A lady's voice said  "PACK ole bell"

Maybe on all soul's day we could ask Bach what he thinks, or ask the very
fellow himself how HE thinks it should be pronounced.
