Actually, we went down there a couple of times with two teams over the
course of several months, Michael. I don't recall the exact figures
(because it was about 10 years ago), but I think we recorded a total
of 400 hours of material out of which maybe 75 minutes were moderately
usable for production. That ain't an optimistic ratio. And according
to the director of Corkscrew, it's way worse, now, since a new
development was built on one of its borders. But, it is true: The
place teams with an abundance of acoustic life.
