Default Winifred Atwell - Love her or hate her!

My husband loves to put music to his photo shows and we spend hours deciding what suits what - drives me to despair as we have quite different tastes in music. He gets very annoyed when I show them to friends and turn the volume down

He loves Winnie and has just downloaded one of her collections . He is driving me batty sitting in the same room playing it over and over again - anyone got any spare ear plugs?

Its a her - but I beg you don't go there. She was popular (with some) in the 50's!

Winnie doesn't sing she plays a piano. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=-JP4tJBfitE

It's long, long time since I've heard her name mentioned. I used to like some of her stuff but I don't think I could take any more than one or two tunes these days.

Perhaps my dislike comes from the fact that my MIL's middle name was Winifred!!!
