Okay, we had this at the old forum (at least twice), so someone had to revive it here. ;D
There have been plenty of new members, so if they - and long-standing members, of course - aren't shy, let's put some faces to (screen) names.
You all know me from my avatar, so here's a picture of me taken a few years ago. Quite a few years ago, actually:

Vanessa thinks you look like Wayne Rooney.
I have been told several times by people from different countries that I look like (maybe also because I talk like) what they expected Lao Tse to look (talk\act) like.

Mark - You look like you didn't really want to have your picture taken. When I was a child, I hated to have my picture taken and I often made faces at the camera.
Here is a recent picture of me trying to look like my pioneer ancestors. I think I did a good job of duplicating the sour facial expression that inevitably occurs on old photographs.

I don't seem to have a more current one handy, but here I am about a year ago at the far right, with composer David Lang, his wife Suzanne Bocanegra (a video artist) and composer Carlos Sánchez-Gutiérrez, at the 2006 Look & Listen Festival here in NYC.

We briefed our photographer to do a few posed shots for the family, and the rest just natural, candid. He shot digital throughout, and gave us ALL 700 photos at the end on a disc! :)

Nope, a musketeer. I never could get a good soul patch which would have made me awesome, but it grows soo slowly. I need to grow a beard and then trim out the unnecessary parts instead of just trying to grow cool facial hair. Lesson learned. To maintain it, I need a barber, anyone got figaro's number?

Well, first photo below is me after a BAD hair day! ;D In my office today playing w/ a 'free' image manipulation program - Paint.Net (great review in PC Mag last month, I believe) - so, decided to 'change' my head - a lot of fun!
Middle pic is the original image - YES, that's me (not as young as most of the rest of you!) - taken a couple of years ago after a drive down to Charelston, SC - sitting in a comfortable chair in our hotel room - wonderful view from the window w/ Ft. Sumter in the background.
Last (but not least), the LOML, Susan (same trip) - tomorrow (i.e. July 12) will be our 37th wedding anniversary (did not believe that we would get this far but still together & taking wonderful trips) - will be visiting our son in a few weeks, who will be turning 34 y/o next month - so nice time of the year for us! :)

Kudos! You must be a fantastic director, directing All-State band is such a honor and is reserved for the very best here in TX. ;)
Okay, here I am on my way to a symphony concert at the hall I visit most often...

No but I mix with the Texas crowd a lot. I was a charter member of the Carolina Crown Drum and Bugle Corps (way back when the Earth was still cooling) and have remained a volunteer for the organization ever since. We used to get our entire percussion section from North Texas so I know those folks rather well.

is it just me, or is it just really strange when you see someone's picture after talking to them awhile on the internet? They always turn out looking... normal. Like someone you could see on the street.

Do you have a recent picture with the changed hair?
This is what M currently looks like. I think I need to change my hair, too. Or maybe not. Or at least shave.
The dark eyerings come from being sick and lying in bed most of the day. But don't hope too much yet - I am not that sick - the bluish color actually comes from the monitor.
In the background you can see the current Mystery Orchestra CDs. Unfortunately for you cheaters the picture is too grainy and the label spines are turned to he side...

This was taken at the 2005 Salzburg Festival one evening as I was making my way to the Pogorelich recital.
What you can't see in this picture is the cunningly hidden sledgehammer that caused such a mess on stage later that evening. :o Well, Pogorelich really was begging for it :)
I'll see if I can get a picture this weekend. Where's AnthonyAthletic? He's wonderfully photogenic.

My favourite Sean picture also comes from a village--perhaps the same one? He's standing behind a group of dishevelled natives looking like he's about to skip off for some special time with the nearest farm animal.

Strangely enough, that's not the first time I heard that. When we played "Pictures at an Exhibition" in La Jolla last year, we had this picture of MM in the program
(http://www.ofletters.com/composers/mussorgsky.jpg)
and one of the orchestra members came over with the program and said "Mike, why is there a picture of you in here?"
Hmm....

I don't think I actually have any other ones. I think we were filmed a few months ago when we played Beehoven 9, but I have to check that, maybe I can post a clip of me and my section almost killing each other during the last movement. Some of the stuff there is among the most difficult, fast, complicated, across all strings, all over the fingerboard madness ever written in an orchestral bass part. Then you can all have a good laugh.

You don't have to try so hard: most African hotels (and elsewhere) will have girls around, and if not will soon get you one.

QuoteMy favourite Sean picture also comes from a village--perhaps the same one? He's standing behind a group of dishevelled natives looking like he's about to skip off for some special time with the nearest farm animal.

In the background you can see the current Mystery Orchestra CDs. Unfortunately for you cheaters the picture is too grainy and the label spines are turned to he side...

Riccardo Chailly it is! ;D Heck, I always thought Chailly was a hottie anyway.
QuoteWell may I return this fine compliment with saying that I looked at your picture for at least 5 minutes before I regained control, to state that you possess great beauty.
Harry, such flattery! ;) Okay, for you then, where does this come from, I bet you know :D

Sarge! My goodness, you look young too! Certainly not a classic "retired chap". ;)
It runs in the family. My mother, 76 now, looks fifteen years younger. She really does. She has an unlined and unwrinkled face. I received a lot ribbing when I posted my wedding pictures in the old forum. I've always looked younger than my years. That sucks when you're in your twenties...but has its compensations when you reach my age.
But I have to confess the photo was taken in 2002 at our 25th Anniversary party. I've aged just a wee bit since then ;)
I can't express my reaction to your pictures...because Mrs. Rock reads this forum ;D

Oh my, do those words ring true! I'm actually 27, but when I have no makeup on and am not dressed up, I get that I look 17. A lot. I wear glasses most of the time if not going to something special, maybe that has something to do with it, I don't know.
But on my mother's side everyone looks way younger, my grandfather looked 70 at 95, my mom looks 15 years younger, etc. It's odd to see some of my friends my age and realize that I suddenly look younger than them! But I don't party hard and drink a lot like some of them either, which also helps. :)

Quote from: Greta on July 12, 2007, 10:52:47 AMfunny, i would've never guessed... i thought you looked 17, too. Sometimes it's hard to guess someone's age just by looking at- a girl i used to work with was 22 and looked 16 or 17, if i had to guess. At this age it's no big deal, but when you get older it's likely to be a good thing

OMG, how funny. Me too. Does she visit ModTheSims2? I agree on Bonehelm! That game can be so incredibly lifelike, almost creepy... But it's such a big time suck, I collected them all and now don't play anymore as I've totally given myself over to the classical music addiction.
I also used to like to play SimCity (4), another very fun game that feels a bit more purposeful. And it has a neat soundtrack which sounds about as close to John Adams and Steve Reich as imaginable, actually it kind of "helped" me into minimalism. :D

OMG, how funny. Me too. Does she visit ModTheSims2?
She does, religiously, daily, but I don't know if she's very active there or just a lurker. She's asleep now. I'll ask her tomorrow what name she uses. Either ID or Fafner, I believe.

OK, SW - being a radiologist, I'm pretty much a 'visual' kind of guy, so let me take the first comparison from Sarge's comment - Richard Egan, quite a popular 'hunk' from the '50s, great in 'soaps & H-men' type films of the times, like A Summer Place from '59:

Know all about this. We gotta get wireless networking now the wife is gonna be home with baby while I'm home 'working' (surfing, more like ;D). She frequents four forums - girlie stuff like pregancy/birth sites, cosmetics, that sort of thing - while I only come here. I spent too much time in too many other forums (fora?) once upon a time, so I limit myself now. Hopefully, that'll keep arguments over internet time to a minimum. ;D

No, A Summer Place was a sappy tear-jerker movie that can best be described as a "chick flick". Not a good one either.

SW - no, that was one of Egan's 'soapers' w/ Dorothy McGuire, Sandra Dee, Arthur Kennedy, & Troy Donahue - Sandra & Troy were the 'young love interests' who get into trouble - I actually own this flick (and a bunch of others from the '50s, esp. the Douglas Sirk films w/ Jane Wyman & Rock Hudson) - but hey, Egan was good in those roles - ;D

Cool shirt Sarge!
My favorite sweat shirt. It's a conversation piece. It's amazing how many people have come up to me over the years and told they were in the Division too. It even opened up my father. He didn't like to talk about his war experiences. He didn't want me to be a soldier. When I enlisted the first time, he actually took to his bed for three days...he didn't come out of the bedroom for three days! When I enlisted a second time, he was even more upset. He never asked me about my job; we never talked about the army. In the late 80s I was transferred to Fort Hood, assigned to the 1st Cav. The first time I came home after the transfer, I was wearing the shirt when he picked me up at the airport. He did a double take. He said he knew that insignia. During WWII he'd served in the Pacific on an attack transport, the Deuel, APA160.
(http://photos.imageevent.com/sgtrock/ngmg/Deuel_1.jpg)
That was a ship that carried soldiers, marines and landing craft to the islands for invasion. His ship landed troops at Iwo Jima and Okinawa, and then served as a hospital ship once the battles began. He saw such horrible things he didn't want me to experience that. Hence his opposition to my career choice.
Anyway, the shirt: He told me his ship carried the 7th Cavalry Regiment, one of the units of the First Cavalry Division, to Japan to serve as part of the occupation force. I'd never known that. He said they were moored really close to the Missouri during the surrender ceremony. 12 years later I found a website devoted to his ship and there was even a picture of the Deuel in Toyko Bay. He was thrilled...so was I!
(http://photos.imageevent.com/sgtrock/ngmg/Deuel%20Toyko_1.jpg)
It was great having that kind of connection to the old man. He told me stories I'd never heard before. I owe the Horse Blanket big time.

Sarge - thanks for the great story - I'm a history buff (more into the Civil & Revolutionary Wars, living in North Carolina), but my FIL was in the Navy during WWII - he was a naval physician stationed on ships & on land; he always told stories of the casulties he had to treat - would often bring 'tears' to his eyes (seeing all of those young men or boys mutilated or dead); this memory intensified as he got older & his health was failing (kind of just had 'long term' memory which became quite vivid for him); he passed away about 18 months ago - I miss him a lot - for my adult years & our shared profession, he was my 'closer' father for the last 30+ years.
Of the many stories told, he did have a great one about Eleanor Roosevelt - he was head of a large naval hospital in the Pacific (can't remember now if on a ship or an island - now I should have taped these stories!) - but Eleanor was visiting, and he was chosen as her guide to show off the hospital - about a half hour tour - she was quite a lady according to him, and an experience he was always proud to have been a part.
At his funeral (Christmas year before the last one), there was an 'open' casket - he was buried in his naval uniform (had made Commander) and had several military representatives there - the flag was presented to my MIL - those experiences lived on in him to the remainder of his life (89 years).

Let's not be hasty. And while we're at it, what about Touch of Evil-era Orson Welles?
Orson Welles was an attractive young man.

I know, though - of the characters in Kane - I think Joseph Cotten got the looks in that bunch.

Hey, no worries. I'm kinda nosey, so I've been fascinated to see what everyone looks like. I had planned to start a 'What do you sound like? thread, where we record ourselves saying something daft and post up the files for others to hear. Only, my £70 digital voice recorder has gone into hiding. >:(

Sarge (and Mrs. Rock), congratulations! After 30+ years of marriage you still look like in the first day (seriously, had I not known the truth I'd have believed you were just married).
Thank you for that. Sigh...if only it were true. Here's my favorite wedding picture:
(http://photos.imageevent.com/sgtrock/ngmg/Wedding%20Day-1.jpg)
(http://photos.imageevent.com/sgtrock/ngmg/Wedding%20Day-1%20crop.jpg)
The two witnesses and I are dutifully listening to the Standesbeamter. The soon to be Mrs. Rock looks like she's trying to find the escape exit. She even has her coat on ;D
(The Standesbeamter is a civil servant who performs the wedding ceremony. In Germany everyone has to go through this civil procedure. Only then can you be legally married in a church if you want to go that route. We didn't. Her parents offered to throw us a big wedding or give us the money instead. Mrs. Rock, being practical, unsentimental and greedy, opted for the loot.)
Once the ceremony was over, and she had the papers in hand that said she owned me for life, she looked happier:

Not a specific one, but you totally remind me of all the immature, unskilled, constantly smirking, lazy, pimply, smartmouthy, very entitled feeling employees I had to deal with (meaning write up or have fired) all the time when I managed the technical operations for a movie theater chain here in Southern California. Man, am I glad I don't work for them anymore!!!
But if I happen to pass by one of my ex-theaters later I will just pop in and take a random picture of a random employee, then we will have a match.

Thats not true. Can you read what you wrote? Happened in the past, and if thats true then the past exists. When you read this it will be the future. I live in the now, what a bunch of bs. Everyone lives in the future, hoping it will be better than now, or lives in the past remembering how good it was. No one actually lives in the now.

Time present and time past
Are both perhaps present in time future,
And time future contained in time past.
If all time is eternally present
All time is unredeemable.
What might have been is an abstraction
Remaining a perpetual possibility
Only in a world of speculation.
What might have been and what has been
Point to one end, which is always present.
Footfalls echo in the memory
Down the passage which we did not take
Towards the door we never opened
Into the rose-garden...

That's a nice looking lady, man, I am really sorry to hear you are her "best friend". That totally sucks. Although I had and have a lot of really good female friends, I was never "best friends" with a girl, that doesn't work. Or actually, one time I was, I thought, and then after 4 weeks we were together anyway, and that for the next 5 years. Which only confirms what I said.
All that doesn't apply if you are gay, of course. Then it can work.

(http://photos.imageevent.com/sgtrock/ngmg/Wedding%20Day-1%20crop.jpg)
The two witnesses and I are dutifully listening to the Standesbeamter. The soon to be Mrs. Rock looks like she's trying to find the escape exit. She even has her coat on ;D
(The Standesbeamter is a civil servant who performs the wedding ceremony. In Germany everyone has to go through this civil procedure. Only then can you be legally married in a church if you want to go that route. We didn't. Her parents offered to throw us a big wedding or give us the money instead. Mrs. Rock, being practical, unsentimental and greedy, opted for the loot.)
Once the ceremony was over, and she had the papers in hand that said she owned me for life, she looked happier:

That said, if you forgive me for doing so, I must apologizing for missing this posting, of yours, and at the same time admit, that I am, and never was a eager visitor of the concerthalls, but rather made my own concerthall at home, so you already guessed, if you send me on my way to concerthall 1, the chances that I will find it is nill! I am terrible in finding my way around. When in the army my second in command was a pro in that sort of thing, so I let him do the mapping for me. That bad!
I can however say with exactness were I live! ;D
In the most northern part of the Netherlands, near the university town of Groningen. Internet will tell you everything about it. I studied there, and was born in this beautiful small city.

Wow -- thanks for reminding me of that film, Sarge! A geat flick. I saw it at the theater when it came out. I was a senior in high school at the time and just getting interested in Classical music. I remember being greatly affected by the soundtrack and exploring some Baroque Italian composers after seeing it. I thought at the time it was actual period music, but I just checked Amazon and see that the score was composed by Pino Donaggio. The CD is now in my order basket!

I don't think Sarge looks like Fassbinder at all. But the wedding pics do indeed look like they could be from some of those 70s handheld camera daily realism films.
In any case, they looks brutally 70s, so I applaud Sarge for his courage to post them here.
Unfortunately, now I can't help picturing him dancing disco-style in some village disco in Germany.

That may also explain your purchasing habits - instead of navigating your way precisely to the desired item, you just mark the whole page and order it. It also does not leave the best impression about the quality of commanding personnel in the NL army, I have to say.
But you may be able to answer a question for me about something that has puzzled me for a long time: I knew you guys have an army of some sort, too (or at least a bunch of people in uniforms pretending to be one), but - why? What is that for? What are those few hundred people supposed to do? What can you do with one tank? Or did you get a second one in the meantime?
Apart from the fact that all the traditionally bad big guys in the area - France, Britain, and my own very evil home country - are now really good friends and stopped invading each other (and the countries which happen to be in the way) - I guess that may also have something to do with Sarge's presence in the area, I mean, who would dare to mess with him? -, so it is unlikely that happens again any time soon, anyway, if that happened again, wouldn't it make a whole lot more sense just to hand over the keys?

Good grief! I had forgotten that it was mandatory for all men (and some women) to grow moustaches in seventies Germany.

Marazm - I'm sure our friend, 71 dB, is a multi-talented individual - and likely might be able to cook, like Chris Kimball from the TV series 'America's Test Kitchens', a favorite of mine - hey, they look like brothers! ;) ;D :)
In fact I am making coffee spagetti (my invention) at the moment. ;D
That chef looks little like me. Marazm's geek has much worse eyesight than me.

Ah...Chrissie. I recruited in her high school, you know. Of course she was long gone by then (but Rachel Sweet was still a student at Firestone). My other Chrissie connection was through a friend. He was a photographer in Akron. He met her before she became famous; she modeled for him. One of the photographs hangs in his living room. Unfortunately, at the time (the 70s), she was an unknown in America, just another of his models...and he had many. But I could've met her! Ah, the missed opportunities.

Thats because when you have some special feature your attention is put all on it :) If your girlfriends boobs suddenly got smaller, you might realize just how ugly her face is ;D ;D Plus I had longer hair then too, so my sideburns were poooofffyyy. They are starting to get that way again.

Yes, it's strange how different we look from one pic to the next, isn't it? Obviously beards and other hairy stuff play a large role. This is what M looks like without a beard. Well, technically it's not completely without, but this is usually as close as it gets since the beard starts growing back within minutes it seems of shaving.

M Forever, are you at all familiar with the Theology of Bob, especially in regards to "Slack"-ing?
You might already be familiar with this site; if not, it will change your life. Bob unfortunately has an evil, dark twin (advance warning):

If that's really a photo of M Forever, it certainly reminds me of the way Jack Nicholson looked in "The Shining".
And in that film, Nicholson turned out to be a lunatic "axe murderer".
I wonder if "M" keeps writing, "All work and no play, makes M Forever a dull boy"?
Do the similarities abound, or do they stop there?

I don't have any pictures of me in any of those places, since I visited them alone and would have felt really silly asking someone else to take my picture. Not to mention that it was very isolated, particularly in Toblach, so there weren't a lot of people around to ask!
I have a picture of me in front of Mozart's birthhouse, but I hate the picture because the lighting makes it look like I have no chin and that my face is kind of fused to my neck. Bleagh.

It was a high ropes course, perfectly safe. I did a couple of other more difficult events but I do not have pictures of those. This one was not a zip line, it was called the "High Beam". Simply, my challenge was to traverse all the way across a questionably stable beam and then jump. Extremely frightening yet an exhilerating experience.

Very "fun loving", yes... 8)
If you look carefully, you can make out part of my collection behind me. Also, I actually do my serious listening with high-precision headphones, so don't mind the rather "mundane" audio equipment. ;)
Incidentally, did I ever say most of my music is (out of necessity) in large CD carrying-cases, rather than in their cases? Though the box sets stay as they are, of course - only the "boring" jewel cases are stowed away...
Or utilised in some manner! The tiny speaker (actually part of the gaming speakers I use with my PS3/Xbox360) you can see behind the sofa is - in fact - standing on a tower of CD jewel cases! ;D

Here is a not so great picture of me and the pup from a webcam a few weeks ago. He was trying to type on the keyboard of my laptop. That should teach me to surf the Intertubes on the floor.

That's correct - and I'm impressed! Didn't mean to nitpick btw, but "tuo" is also a word, it means "that" in Finnish. It is also the imperative of the word "bring". "Tuo tuo" would mean "bring that". My Finnish lesson finishes here. ;D

You're doing fine. Beats me, though, why anyone should start studying Finnish unless they are compulsive linguists or planning to live here. Such an obscure language in every other respect. But hat off, for sure!
"Tuoni" is ancient Finnish, not in regular use.

"Tuoni" is ancient Finnish, not in regular use.

Unfortunately (or not, depending on your perspective), we have very few ladies here.

"compulsive linguists".... that would describe me. Almost every morning I have a compulsion to study some language, and i found this one excellent site for Finnish which i've browsed for a couple of days:
http://donnerwetter.kielikeskus.helsinki.fi/FinnishForForeigners/parts-index.htm
i think it's really cool, the doubled vowels, consonants and easy spelling remind me of Japanese. Much cooler than Romance languages. But.... of course, i just do this out of curiosity since practicing 3 or more languages at the same time isn't such a good idea. Maybe when I get older, yeah....

Ankh, cross, whatever. I don't wear jewelry or religious symbols of any kind. Nor do I have the Gorbachev birthmark. I will say that a couple of years ago, a gentleman stopped me after a Carnegie Hall concert (he was in fact the late Leighton Kerner, music critic from the Village Voice, a constant rumpled presence in NY concert halls) to ask if I was related to James Levine. I don't know if I was sorry or relieved to have disappointed him.

Dalhousie Castle is very, very popular for weddings. We only went for our honeymoon, but at least seven couples were married there that week. We'd like to go back for a couple of nights on our fifth wedding anniversary. :)
Interestingly, we married in the year that an artist we both greatly admire - singer/songwriter, Tori Amos - released her album, 'The Beekeeper'. The final track, titled 'Toast', references Dalhousie Castle ... so presumably, Tori visited there at some point.

And especially given a few recent discussions that involved my age, I thought I'd update your visual impression of me to the most current. Though let me note that my hair is usually not that disciplined, so you could call this a quasi-realistic depiction ;):

She prefers folk music and hip-hop.
Somehow, the combination of folk and hip-hop strikes me as hugely amusing. Men in thick-knit sweaters 'popping' rival singers outside the cider tent at the country fairs. ;D
And 'Morris Dance-offs'.

Yes, I noticed! I was trying to find a fingerprint on any of them and I didn't succeed. You wiped the evidence clean!

Never been a picture of me taken that was on the Internet that I know of. But someone told me that I was on a video on the Internet. I didn't believe it. But yep, sure enough, somebody was crazy enough to be filming at a chess tournament, and there I was. As far as I know, the first time I was ever video taped (digitally or otherwise). As the caption says, "guaranteed paint dry moments".

And there I am, kind of surprising to me. At 1:28 - 1:35, I'm Black on board 7. And here's the game itself, for anyone interested (ie. nobody):
[Event "Southwest Virginia Open"]
[Site "Salem, Virginia"]
[Date "2007.08.10"]
[Round "1"]
[White "name removed"]
[Black "Lilly, Joshua"]
[Result "1/2-1/2"]
[ECO "E21"]
[WhiteElo "1977"]
[BlackElo "1728"]

Yeah yeah, I know I could have gotten into the main line of the ...f5 Nimzo, so sue me. It used to be my main repertoire. And I know 19...h6. Looking at this game, man, I suck worse than ever. I've had a drink tonight, so I'm up for self-humiliation both of my face (geez, that video shows my nose is bigger than I realised) and of my mind (broken).

A European girl, on trip, that arrived and stepped out of her car right after my friend and I had decided to finish our siestas and put on our shirts again (luckily).

That's a nice leaking world you have there, pal. Here when a fountain is about to release water it's all about children with big bowls or urinating angels.

Environmentally committed park designers are with you too: so they came up with this piece of city furniture.
And just like the real world, it uses resources with shocking inaccuracy: how many arid zones children do you think could be hydrated just with the water that misses the fountain and hits the ground?

The real truth is less poetic. ::)
Recently after I moved, saying nothing to almost anybody, my former schoolmates didn't even believe I'm in US, so I had to take a photo in Hollywood. My Metropolitan Opera pictures didn't interest them at all. ;D :(

Ohh I should take a picture now, my neighbor was sitting listening to rap music on his balcony, and we certainly don't get along. As I walked in we gave each other dirty looks and then I started playing the emperor waltz and he tried to raise his volume louder (on his laptop) but couldn't match my speakers and now he is pissed off. ;D I'm not sure why I got so much joy from it, but possibly because he is a asshole.

Italians knowing some other language is of no help to me, as I picked up just enough Italian to be able to do really basic things like get a sandwich, a beer, a room, a train ticket, or any of that other stuff that one should do. There's still a lot of pointing and smiling, but I can get my message across. The same goes for French and German. I have a knack for being able to learn just enough of a language to be obviously an American tourist.
Then the pity kicks in, and the English comes out.

Not pity, I think. Trying to speak their language flatters them. ;)

Well, it's meeting them halfway. Also, I find that, when I have dealt with foreign tourists and students at my school, they make an effort to speak English. Despite my suspicions, I am not so arrogant as to assume that everyone really does speak English.

Hey, calculus. Before I got off into the wild and weird world of linear algebra, abstract algebra, and number theory, I had a couple of semesters of calc. It's not bad, especially when you ponder what comes after it.

I studied it in high school in Russia. And it went without question, but here I feel doubtful if I'm doing right. Anyway, it's useful, it helps to understand the world, changes the way of thinking. I wonder if I would have ever come to opera without studying in physics-and-mathematics lyceum.

Remember, you live in California, so you probably speak English better already than a lot of the natives here. If you want to blend in more, just say "uh" and "like" and "you know" all the time.
Example:
Californese
"Uh...you know...like yesterday, I was like going...uh...you know, to that...uh...kinda like medical place cause I was like coughing all the time and shit...uh...and they kinda gave me like those pills."
English tranlsation
"Yesterday I went to the doctor because I had a cold and I got a prescription."

Uh, you know, my English teacher kinda told me like kinda same, you know. >:D
But I seriously need to expand my vocabulary and enhance my speaking skills. And sometimes I feel confused when I want to say something that implies on some hidden meaning and people cannot understand, especially the Mexicans and they think I've gone mad or do not speak English very good. That's kinda nasty >:( because it is not nice to make language easier and duller, when you can learn more interesting things and complexes. My teacher told me that some constructions, for example "lest" or "but for' are not even in use, that worries me. ???
I can only say for myself that I need to learn, learn and learn. :D
PS: And it always matters for me to whom I speak. Because sometimes I feel myself petrified and make a lot of mistakes talking to one person, while with the other words would flow out from my mouth. ???

That's because a lot of the Mexicans don't speak English "very good" (or rather, very well).

That's just normal. I still have that sometimes after having lived here for almost 5 years. With some people, I can speak very fluently, with some people, I also kinda...uh...like freeze up and stuff. That's because a lot of people don't actually listen to you when you speak, no matter if you are a local or a foreigner. They just don't really listen. So when they speak to another local, they kind of get the idea, but when they speak to a foreigner who sounds different, they just don't understand what you are saying. That makes you feel as if you can't speak properly anymore, but it's not always your fault.
I have had situations where I talked to my boss about very complicated technical and other issues for 3h on the phone, no problem, then I call another number to order a pizza and it takes a long time to make the idiot on the other end understand what I want because he just doesn't listen properly. One thing gets on my nverves incredibly that a lot of people do here, especially Hispanic people: they always repeat what you said as a question. At first I thought that was because they have trouble understanding me, but then I noticed they always do that. It's an attitude and insecurity thing. Instead of paying attention to the people they speak to, they rather don't listen and think and just repeat what you said before it sinks into their brain. You will find that if you don't confirm what they asked back and just look t them, after a moment, they will actually understand you. Because they heard you, they just didn't listen.
Example:
I went to a lunch place in LA with colleagues, one of those places where they take your order, give you a number and then call it when the order is done. We placed our orders, got the numbers, but my number wasn't called even after all their stuff had been put on the counter. I go and look and there is a dish there which looks exactly like what I had ordered. Maybe the numbers just got confused? So I go to the counter guy, *point at the tray* and
Me: This is not my number, but that's exactly what I ordered.
Idiot: So what did you order?
Me: Exactly that.
Idiot: What do you mean, exactly that?
Me: That's what I ordered, but the number doesn't match my receipt.
Idiot: But it's what you ordered?
Me: Yes.
Idiot: And the number is different?
Me: Yes.
Idiot: What's your number?
Me: 134.
Idiot: 134?
Me: Yes.
Idiot (looks at the number on the tray): This is 137. What's your number again?
Me: 134.
Idiot: 134?
Me: Yes.
Idiot (pauses for a moment, looks at the number on the tray again) That's a different number.
Me: I know. That's what I said. But this is what I ordered.
Idiot: This is what you ordered?
Me: Yes.
Idiot (doesn't know what to say; but it looks like he is trying to think)
Me (aloud, to the other people waiting there): Does anyone have #137?
The other people waiting there (silent)
Me: OK, then I'll just take that.
Idiot: You wanna take that instead?
Me: Not instead. This is what I ordered.
Idiot: You ordered this?
Me (walking off with the tray)

I think you are right. And sometimes in mood I have a slightest accent, that is not even noticeable by the most, so I feel myself extremely displeased, because they may think I'm handicapped and cannot speak properly. So then I force my accent to be stronger and it becomes clear I'm not a native one. I liked the story.
Sometimes I even say with a horrible accent "ai dont spik inglish", when Bank of America calls me hundred times a day. >:( That is unbearable!!

Mr. Forever is of course being satirical, but there's some element of truth in what he says. As far as I can ascertain, the use in popular speech of the word "like" (as a filler word, or to add emphasis) dates from the beatnik speech of the 1950s; it became familiar to millions of American TV viewers from the character of Maynard G. Krebs (played by the late Bob Denver) on the Dobie Gillis Show. And now the usage is pandemic among American speakers. All one can suggest to Sarastro is to resist with all his might.
On the other hand, like* many people learning English as a second language, Mr. Sarastro does make a few errors in grammar and idiom that he will probably correct over time if he intends to stay here permanently. The best thing, I think, is to keep listening to people who do use contemporary English effectively, and to be willing to learn from them if one says anything drastically incorrect. But Sarastro does very well for the most part; he's easy to understand when he writes here, and for the most part his sentences flow clearly. It's now just a matter of patiently trying to master the nuances of English syntax and acquire more vocabulary.
* Note proper use of the word "like."

My sympathies.
My daughter was in LA over the summer and thought Californians "thick" because they could not understand plain English unless it was spoken in a "Californian" accent.
Asking for a plain mineral water became a chore until she understood this simple change.
Fortunately, she did not return with a Californian accent.
We have adverts on TV for California fronted, of course, by the Governator himself. I'm tempted ::)

I don't know what to make of this. I spent two stretches living in California and I did not notice that there was any unique "California accent" or that other accents were not recognized. In fact, California is extraordinarily diverse, both with respect to ethnic makeup of the population and the number of languages spoken. 40% of Californian's speak a language other than English.

That's right: Californese. There are some English speakers there as well, but they are in the minority among the Spanish and Californese speakers.

Here are two of your favorite GMG members in one picture!!! The M (on the left) and Karl Henning (on the right). We bumped into each other today at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston where I worked on a screening in their movie theater and Karl worked an evening shift in the gift shop.

The sun vaporised me! :P
Many kiwis wear sunblock when they go outdoors-- one of the first things I noticed when I got off the plane in New Zealand is you can literally feel the sunlight burning into your skin-- a very unsettling feeling. NZ has one of the highest skin cancer rates in the world now thanks to a rather large hole in the ozone layer over Antarctica. Oz has a similar problem.

You're not familiar with Jewish law, that's why you assumed incorrectly.
Jewish law says that you can use a shaving machine if the blades do not touch the skin. The whole restriction has to do with blades touching the skin.
About the hair at the temples, there is no commandment to grow hair at that area. When you see Hasidic Jews with long hair at the temples, it has to do with doing extra, more then the law demands to show complete love to G-d, in the understanding that one who loves G-d, does more then demanded, like a true servant of the King, that does more then the King demanded. So, there is absolutely no transgression if one trims the hair on his temples according to Jewish law.
So I keep the Law as it was written, and your assumption is unfounded and incorrect.

How is this guitar "special"? It looks like any other Fender. But just looks like the frets are shallow. Please elaborate!
I'm a Les Paul man. Nothing imo beats the dirty chimy sound out of it. I've been told by many people that my guitar produced a wall of sound. Like I sound like two guitarists; but not in a way that it's so muddy and indecipherable.

You can use scissors to trim the beard, and some used special cream to cause the hair to fall.
As long as the blade doesn't come in direct contact with the skin, its allowed.
Its one of the 613 commandments of the Torah written in a clear manner.
Wikipedia:
Some modern Jewish religious legislators in Orthodox Judaism, including The Great Rabbi Moshe Feinstein and Rabbi Yosef Eliyahu Henkin, permit the use of electric razors for the purpose of remaining clean shaven, because, in their view, electric razors work like scissors, cutting by trapping hair between the blades and a metal grating.

How is this guitar "special"? It looks like any other Fender. But just looks like the frets are shallow. Please elaborate!
I'm a Les Paul man. Nothing imo beats the dirty chimy sound out of it. I've been told by many people that my guitar produced a wall of sound. Like I sound like two guitarists; but not in a way that it's so muddy and indecipherable.
What Les Paul model do you play?

This was pre-customization/getting the jumbo frets and the neck widened. In fact, this is when I got the guitar outta the box.
Sounds like you are a really terrific player! I suck.

Do you have any project? I think i read somewhere that you were working on a metal opera?

It appears you've fallen under the spell of little yozhik, Norstein's beautiful animation. If you don't know it yet you should type 'Skazka Skazok' into Youtube and watch his 30 minute masterpiece. The visual quality is rather limited on there so if you want a good copy to download I can dig up the link for you.

First make a "Preview" ( you may want to adjust)
Than "Scan" & "Safe as" - give the photo a name or number
Then , open "Additional options" in your post and search for the photo and "enter".

Thanks Pjme.
This is me (the overweight one in the middle wearing a Tintin T-shirt) in Turkey, c 2002, with my wife and daughter, enjoying a rare moment of domestic harmony.
"...a rare moment of domestic harmony"!
Oh come on, Jeffrey, I cannot imagine that is true ;D But it is nice to see the (long-suffering) Mrs. Davis and your daughter :)
I assume that as well as inculcating a love of History you also managed to ensure that your daughter shares your love for good music ;)

Nice :)
Where was this taken? Was it a daily trip or a Blue Voyage?
I will probably be doing a sailing in a few weeks, from Istanbul to the northern Aegean. I can't wait :)
Sounds lovely (your trip). The photo was taken on a day trip, don't know where but we were staying near Side on the south of Turkey, near Antalya. I have never been to Istanbul but we are planning to go in the next year or two.

Neither my wife or my daughter share my taste in music. "MUST WE LISTEN TO THIS NOISE?" is the usual response to my playing of Miaskovsky, Havergal Brian, Shostakovich etc on the CD player, although my wife did once say something positive about a Klaus Egge string quartet (Naxos) which I was playing. My daughter bought me a pair of headphones for my birthday!

The solution. It's unethical to inflict Miaskovsky, Brian et al on unwilling spouses... My mother, by the way, used to ask, every time she heard Brünnhilde Hojotoho-ing from the speakers Are they sawing that woman in half?

Yes it was Colin and I was living there at the time of the engagement. I remember coming out of the flat one day to go to school (as a teacher, but I was still living at home) and noticed all these photographers in the street.
Sadly, only our family cat gained any fame as a result of this tenuous connection with the Princess, as she could be clearly heard miaowing in the background during a TV interview with Diana's flatmates ::)
It was fun, though to grow up in Earl's Court (my parents always referred to it as "South Kensington") and the big library at High St Kensington was a wonderful source of LPs and I made so many discoveries there (Miaskovsky Symphony 6, Kondrashin, Klaus Egge Symphony 1, Cyril Scott Piano Concertos, Honegger Liturgique etc etc etc).
Those were the days, to which I often look back with fond memories.

I am curious because I wonder whether capital city = accessibility of cultural goods (books, music et cetera). This applies more to Europe than the United States, by the way, which is a continent with many cultural hubs.

Well I grew up in a household in which music was of great importance. My grandfather was a church organist. My father and older brother sang in the church choir. My father played the timpani in a local amateur orchestra during the war. I was surrounded by music and used to play with(and occasionally break :() my father's old 78s. As a teenager I befriended other boys who shared my love for classical music
But it is true that having easy access to the Friday concerts of the (then) Scottish National Orchestra in the Usher Hall in Edinburgh was a substantial advantage :)

Munich, Berlin, and Bonn are like Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Sacramento, or Houston, Dallas, and Austin (noting the two Republics which joined the United States in the mid-19th Century).

Having been born in a "provincial capital", I can affirm that had I not relocated to Athens two years ago I would have certainly been deprived of a lot, even in the internet age. However, growing up outside the hustle of a real capital (particularly this one) is not something I have regrets over.
It gave me time and space to think. But yes, I'd say your equation holds. :)

Living in Earl's Court/South Kensington, I could walk to the Albert Hall in about 30 minutes, so regularly went to the Proms from the age of c 16 (Horenstein conducting Bruckner's 8th in c 1971 was an early memory....the performance is now on BBC Legends). As mentioned before the record library at High St Kensington which had a huge collection of LPs, including very obscure stuff (an early LP of Klaus Egge's First Symphony for example...and this was in the 70s), was an invaluable source of discovery for me. I got my dad to join too even though his only musical interest was Frank Sinatra, so that I could use his tickets and every Saturday took out 6 LPs from that library. I remember many great discoveries: Ogdon/Herrmann doing Cyril Scott's First Piano Concerto, Hadley's "Trees so High", John Ireland's "These Things Shall Be", symphonies by Rubbra (No 5), VW's Piano Concerto, Miaskovsky, Bax, Honegger, Pettersson's 7th Symphony + much Melodiya stuff, often in white cardboard sleeves with no other information etc etc.
The Festival Hall was an easy underground ride from Earl's Court to Charing Cross (the station is now called Embankment) and a nice walk over Hungerford Bridge. So I was lucky to be brought up in central London.

After another great story (Jeffrey's), I'll have to tell what Amsterdam meant for me. Well, two things: the Central Library with its excellent music library on the top floor, and the Concertgebouw.
That music library was responsible for my discovery of, among others, Havergal Brian (books by Malcolm MacDonald, Eastaugh, Foreman et al, LPs, they even had a score of The Gothic, ), Arnold Bax (Third under Edward Downes), RVW (books and LPs) and I could go on. I read books about Wagner, Bruckner, Mahler, Beethoven, Prokofiev, Martinu... The list is endless. Apart from borrowing scores.
At the Concertgebouw Rachmaninoff's First and the Sibelius Seventh were revelations. I went to many Mahler concerts (Haitink and Giulini stand out). Two friends of mine and I always tried to sit on the balcony opposite the orchestra (Balkon Front), then you had the best view. (Not only the Concertgebouw Orchestra played, btw, in those days (70s/80s) you still had the Amsterdam Philharmonic, too, which later became (after a merger, iirc, with another orchestra, whose name ecapes me) the Netherlands Philharmonic. And the Radio Philharmonic could often be heard, too.)

This is certainly true. I was born in København, and as my parents had much interest in music, theater and art, they regularily took me to exibitions and to The Royal Theater with its combination of opera, ballet and theater - as well as to concerts. I also had access to a great central public library, most often able to lend what I needed without delay.This had not been possible, if we had lived in Small-town.
So I have attended concerts and recitals by many of the great stars of the past, Fricsay, Kubelik, Kletzki, Ormandy, Münchinger, the Oistrakhs, Kempff, Arrau, Anda, Brendel, Marie-Claire Alain, Helmut Walcha, David Munrow, Nigel Rogers, James Bowman .. to name some. This was without doubt decisive for my growing interest in music. On the other hand I never got any lasting interest in opera, despite my fathers heroic efforts. Difficult to tell why, but probably it is because the romantic style generally leaves me cold. I think romantic music is "viel Geschrei und wenig Wolle" , it uses to much time to say something, which composers of other ages say much faster. Whereas I can listen to the entire Wohltemperierte Klavier bd. I and II non stop, if I have got the time, neither getting impatient nor tired.
Now I live far from Købemhavn, but internet trade makes the aquisition of almost everything possible - if not OOP.

Interesting, Colin! (And I believe M was born in Berlin.)
M was born in Berlin but it was not the capital then.
Quote from: Jezetha on August 03, 2008, 06:16:00 AM
I am curious because I wonder whether capital city = accessibility of cultural goods (books, music et cetera). This applies more to Europe than the United States, by the way, which is a continent with many cultural hubs.
It is?
Quote from: DavidRoss on August 03, 2008, 07:29:47 AM
Holds true in the States and Canada, too, bearing in mind that each State has its own cultural capital (not always the seat of government). Munich, Berlin, and Bonn are like Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Sacramento, or Houston, Dallas, and Austin (noting the two Republics which joined the United States in the mid-19th Century).
There isn't really that much going on in Bonn which was a strange choice as capital city back then, no doubt only because of Adenauer's (who came from the area) advocay. Historically and logistically, it would have made much more sense to use Frankfurt as the capital (and many were in favor of that choice). But there isn't much going on culturally in Bonn, so in that respect, it may make sense to compare it to the above cities, most of which are pretty dead, with very little culture of any sort, really. And there isn't that much going-out culture either because everything closes down early and people are sent home from the bars, too. It took me a few years to figure that out, but culturally, the US is a tinyy country spread out over a vast geographical expanse (with lots of gret scenery though). Living in Boston now with its uncommonly rich (for an US city) cultural life and proximity to other centers such as NY is almost a reverse culture shock for me.

I wonder how many GMG members were born in the capital of their respective countries... Jeffrey in London, yours truly in Amsterdam...
Assuming that I developed some cultural interest, the premisse doesn't hold for me. I was born in a farmhouse in the countryside, parents only basic education, no access to cultural activities of any kind, hardly any music in the house, no musical friends or relatives, few books. My own musical interests were mostly served by the radio and from age 16 by a public library in a provincial capital where I went to school, but it had a fine collection of e.g. Lyrita LPs. But as one of the very few from my place, I enjoyed the privilege of entering a gymnasium (grammar school, with e.g. Latin and Greek), but because of social background couldn't join classmates socially, nor share their cultural activities. So, moving to Amsterdam (to study history) at the age of 18 made some sort of change. Indeed, from 1980 on I shared all the opportunities described by my namesake - when we accidentally met in 1995 we found out we had often in the same years hired the same books and LPs (Brian a.o.) from the same library, &c.
My own theory therefore being, that a sheer lack of opportunity might make hungry as well ... :D 8)

Very interesting account Johan, although the bit about your "wrong social background" and not being able to mix with your classmates socially or culturally because of this made me feel both angry and sad. I thought that England was the most class-based country around, but clearly not. However the idea of a run on Havergal Brian LPs in a 1980s Amsterdam library made me smile.
I do remember buying an LP of Shostakovich's Symphony 5 (Kondrashin I think) whilst working on a farm in Zeeland in the summer of 1973, between school and university. The LP is still in the attic somewhere.

Very interesting accounts of members' early cultural/musical influences.
I should have added that I did certainly also benefit from attending Scotland's oldest school(most famous former pupil, Sir Walter Scott, the novelist) and that school had a fine music department. Although I was not in the school choir, it was certainly very highly regarded. The former British Prime Minister, Sir Alec Douglas-Home(1963-64), invited the choir to sing at his daughter's wedding, I recall.
Having daily school assemblies at which the senior music master played splendid organ voluntaries helped as well :)
It also helped-to an extent for which I will be eternally grateful-to have the future Havergal Brian expert, Malcolm MacDonald, as my closest school friend for five years :) :)

At the time I was born (1956) Montreal was Canada's biggest city. It's now been overtaken by Toronto (since the mid-seventies I think). Neither is the country's capital. Sleepy Ottawa holds that distinction. Lights go out at 10:30 and they roll up the sidewalks at 11:00pm there. I don't think much cultural education can be gotten from such an environment.
Most of the important artists (soloists) regularly stopped by Montreal back then. I had the chance to hear Milstein, Perlman, Rubinstein (he was almost blind), Arrau, Lupu, Jessye Norman, as well as our own canadian celebrities: Simoneau, Forrester, Vickers, Hamelin. Very few orchestras made the detour back then, but I had the chance to attend a concert by the Cleveland Orchestra. Then I moved out and was effectively shut from the cultural scene for almost 15 years.

We lived in Granby and Trois-Rivières for awhile. Although they're only 100 and 140 km from Montreal, children were too young to be left home, so outings were mostly devoted to family visits. We returned here in 1999.
The MSO was a good orchestra before Dutoit. Post WWII MDs were Klemperer (1950-53), Markevitch (57-61), Mehta (61-67), Decker (67-75) and Frühbeck de Burgos (a short tenure - 75-76, but an interesting one). Dutoit definitely brought the technical level to international standards. My favourite conductor among those I heard is definitely Decker. He is still invited every year. For some reason he's not popular with orchestra management, but the players love him, and so do the audience, at least the portion of which that like Strauss and Bruckner (his specialties). A Bruckner symphony under Decker is always a sell out. Nagano is a walking disaster.

Did you seriously entertain the idea that misplacing Yellowknife would go unnoticed to this panel of erudites? Sheesh !

Yes, but that doesn't make a big difference anyway because everything there is almost within walking distance.
In a manner of speaking - yes. Though I wouldn't want to walk from Amsterdam to, say, Groningen up in the north...

Yellowknife doesn't have that much less culture than places like Dallas, Denver, Seattle, St. Louis (or in other words, these cities don't have much more), even though the latter at least all have mediocre orchestras (I haven't heard the famous Yellowknife Philharmonic yet) - so it was actually quite clever to hide the name in with these others.

Frühbeck de Burgos (a short tenure - 75-76, but an interesting one)
Interesting in how far?

Nagano is a walking disaster.
Disaster in how far? I don't have much of an opinion about Nagano, I saw him only a few times with the DSO in Berlin and have maybe two or three recordings which appear competently done, if not overwhelmingly revelatory.

We lived in Granby and Trois-Rivières for awhile. Although they're only 100 and 140 km from Montreal, children were too young to be left home, so outings were mostly devoted to family visits. We returned here in 1999.
The MSO was a good orchestra before Dutoit. Post WWII MDs were Klemperer (1950-53), Markevitch (57-61), Mehta (61-67), Decker (67-75) and Frühbeck de Burgos (a short tenure - 75-76, but an interesting one). Dutoit definitely brought the technical level to international standards. My favourite conductor among those I heard is definitely Decker. He is still invited every year. For some reason he's not popular with orchestra management, but the players love him, and so do the audience, at least the portion of which that like Strauss and Bruckner (his specialties). A Bruckner symphony under Decker is always a sell out. Nagano is a walking disaster.
Interested to know why you think "Nagano is a walking disaster" :) He was hired, as you will know, in 1992 to revive the failing fortunes of the Halle Orchestra in Manchester. This he failed to achieve. The fault was not entirely his but he certainly did not appear to appreciate what was required or what was possible with a provincial orchestra. The astonishing transformation in the orchestra's reputation under Sir Mark Elder does point up the contrast.
Is there much Canadian music performed or recorded? The only tonal composers from Canada of whom I have heard are Healey Willan and Sir Ernest MacMillan. I have often hoped to come across Willan's Piano concerto or his two symphonies(No.2 sounds interesting from descriptions I have read)-but have had no success to date :(

But only for another 8 years or so. Probably even less. Then you will have all these little pimply assholes calling and showing up at your place, and you know what their only real interest is. But she won't know it and whatever she does to please the guys she thinks really, really love her although there are really no true indications for that, she will end up used and heartbroken. Then a little later, if she is at all attractive, guys not much younger than yourself will start preying on here. Ugh...Tom Clancy may not be a deep thinker, but he hit the nail on the head when he wrote "having a daughter is God's punishment for being a man". Not that I actually believe in God or have a daughter. I am glad I don't. But I wouldn't want to have a boy either. I would be a bad father anyway.

Oh dear...how cynical ;D
I don't have any children either but for me it will probably be one of the(if not the single)biggest regrets of my life that I didn't have the opportunity to help shape a young life :(
In my three decades as a schoolteacher I was responsible for part of the education of a lot of young people and that was a fantastically enjoyable and fulfilling experience :) I hope and trust that I made a difference to most of them and that is immensely satisfying :)
Having kids of ones own is obviously different though! I would probably have made lots and lots of mistakes but that is only natural ;)
Oh...sorry..this is getting too personal :-[
Daughters are probably very hard work as they get older and the issues you identify are certainly there but c'est la vie :)

I also have a son, he's the eldest. I may have some pics of him, but he's camera shy. I may find them later. And of course I have a wife, the same one for the last 26 years :D.
I couldn't think of myself as worth anything if it wasn't for the fact I fathered them. Maybe it's a parochial view, but better that than no view at all. Then, but only then, I consider myself worthy of Nietzsche's view of man' calling in Le Gai savoir (The Gay Science): "a joyful affirmation of life and of an immersion in a light-hearted scholarship that takes aesthetic pleasure in life". That's my 'jardin secret' (hidden garden), where I can develop and nurture my own self, mostly by means of intellectual development (acquiring knowledge and developing one's sensibilities never stop - and seeing to it that it doesn't is not only a moral obligation but essential to mental survival).
Whatever one's view of life, one has to realize there would be no life (including our own) if there was no continuity. Continuity also involves evolution. I stopped being an individual when I met my wife (I was 25). I started a new life as part of a new entity where the implicit paramount value was continuity. Since I became a grandfather last year, I consider a new period (chapter) has started, in which it's not what I do or realize that may be useful or of interest, but what I communicate of the past as seed for the future.

Quote from: Lilas Pastia on August 04, 2008, 06:23:17 PMHaving children must be the best thing to experience, provided they are indeed wanted in the first place :) I don't and that's why it is much better that I don't become a father. If I did though, I'd definitely prefer a daughter and try my best at making her a free spirit.

I have come to notice that those who do not want to have children (at least those around me) seem to be of a somewhat similar mindset about the general outlook on life in general. Or perhaps it is the other way around ;D
As for marriage, I, to the contrary, sincerely hope that I have not and never cease to be an individual. A wise word from a friend (a member here) has told me something that I completely agree with: When you are married or emotionally involved with someone, people say that they are now one person. But wouldn't it be better to be three people instead?

My granddaughter was not 'wanted' . A classic case of "the accident". Beside the obvious physical element, she doesn't have a father. And yet there was never any question that once she was on her way, she automatically became wanted, expected and welcomed. She's the joy and pride of our household (my daughter still lives with us).

This has turned into a very interesting thread (well, it always was one :)). Well done Colin for starting it.
I have a daughter, now 20. Like my brother and I she was an "accident" although I was engaged to her mother at the time and we have now been married since 1987. I have never, however, referred to my wife as "my other half" as many people do. I hope that I have maintained my individuality, although it is annoying having to smuggle CDs into the house (easier than LPs however.) Being a father has been very important to me but I do not think that I would have been unfulfilled had I remained alone. Like Colin, I am a History Teacher and I like to think that I have played a role, however small, in influencing (positively I hope) the lives of at least a few of the young people I have taught.
As for the pimply boyfriends, I remember the first time a boy phoned for my daughter when she was a young teenager. I handed her the phone, trying to keep a straight face but she read my mind saying: "before you say anything, just shut up." so I did :-X
My daughter and I when she was little:

As for the pimply boyfriends, I remember the first time a boy phoned for my daughter when she was a young teenager. I handed her the phone, trying to keep a straight face but she read my mind saying: "before you say anything, just shut up." so I did :-X

Nice picture, Jeffrey! And no, I don't regard myself as only a half either, and neither does my wife. Our daughter Dunya wasn't an 'accident', though (we were both 38), but very much wanted after we both had the feeling it would cap the first 10 years we were together in the most beautiful way possible. And I was ready, too, after having thought for more than 25 years I could only be wholly committed to 'Art'...
Story about Brian, quoted from Havergal Brian: Reminiscences and Observations, by Robert Matthew-Walker (p. 42):
Brian had settled down in readiness, but as the opera (Verdi's Othello, a live television broadcast in the 1960s) was about to start, Mrs Brian got up and said she was going out. "Why don't you watch this?" Brian asked her. "I don't want to," she said. "But it's a very great masterpiece, and you may not get another chance like this." "I don't care," she replied, "and in any case I don't like opera." With that, she left to go and visit a neighbour, and Brian watched the opera alone. "I daren't tell her that I've got five operas of my own in the cupboard - if she knew, she'd probably throw them all out to the dustman!"

No, it's intentional - Arabic for 'world' (or, as you say, Earth - dünya - in Turkish). I was reading the great Sufi mystic poet Rumi (or Mevlana) in the 1990s and came across the two terms 'dunya' and 'din'. The idea of the world as a precious creation (in Rumi's view Allah's, of course) to be cherished struck a chord with me. I couldn't but see every child in the same way. Another thing is - I am both white and black, and there is something Jewish far away too, probably; then there are Frisian ancestors and Austrian... I thought that when my wife and I would have a child, he or she would be like the world, ergo: Dunya.
By the way: I am not a Muslim...

Don't be embarrassed - Mahler is one of my heroes, and his 'the symphony must be like a world' aesthetic has had a profound influence on my own thinking about art and what I have been trying to achieve in my own writing.

Mevlana is quite distant from traditional Islam. His love for Allah is much more human, and he almost exclusively describes his relationship with him like the one between two lovers. I am not a Muslim either, but I have been immersed in his philosophy by having lived in Turkey for most of my life. I never took special interest to read him out by myself though :-[

I was embarrassed because a symphony and a person are two distinctly different things. For some reason, equating the two in such a way, even by association, struck a dissonant cord in my head. It could be just my own obsession with Mahler in evidence. ;)

After everything you said about how important you find it to be committed to raising a family and all that, doesn't it make you really angry that the guy won't accept responsibility for his "mistake"? Does he at least contribute financially to the child's upbringing?

No, to my regrets. I can't drive my little kids around all day, so I went no further than Sitia to the East (and Iráklion to the West). But enough to be enjoyed in between! A.s. eg the Lasithi plain, the south coast around Ierapetra, a handful of Minoan places, three (!) Kazantzakis museums, &c. &c. As I understand you've been there too?

Quite understandable. To be honest, you visited too many places to be allowed to have any regrets. ;)
Vai is a famous beach due to its unique palm forest and Toplou is a very old monastery that played a major role both in the Revolution and the resistance against the Germans during WWII and I mentioned them because they are not far from Siteia (or the Zakros Minoan palace), which I assumed you visited. Something to look forward to for a next trip, then! 8)

That makes sense - cosmos and cosmetics must be etymologically related then (I hadn't fully realised this before!) Another thing: Greek thought was preserved and transmitted to the West through Islam. So the similarity in that 'poetic notion' makes sense, too.

Indeed they are, both deriving from the verb κοσμώ (adorn), which is still used in modern Greek. The Greek word for jewellery has the same etymology: κόσμημα(κοσμήματα)/cosmema(ta).

There are similarities, of course. The Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire and the Arab Caliphate (the Persians before them) shared borders and cultural contact for many centuries, during a time when western Europe saw the collapse of the Western Roman empire, was overrun by barbaric invasions and gradually enstranged itself from the Greek world. Re-acquaintance with Greek antiquity was initially made by means of islamic sources in Spain and elsewhere before the Greek sources of the "heretic" eastern empire were accessible or could be properly studied and appreciated in later times.

1) Three
2) Not at all, quite the opposite in fact. She left him for very good reasons (he's a bum and petty criminal), and found out a couple weeks later she was pregnant. Our worst fear is actually having him wanting to see the child. I don't know about the law in other countries but here if the father is legally recognized he has an automatic child support obligation and right of visit/shared custody. Since the two come together, we are very happy he hasn't shown any interest since the child's birth. I suspect our motivations are entirely egoistic and run contrary to today's money driven mentality. Most people find that hard to understand, but that's the way it is.
I'd like to comment on the 'half' and 'individuality' I see mentioned here and there. It quite surprises me that some consider (fear) they might cease to be individuals if they became 'one half' of a couple. Entering into long term relationships means doing the maths differently. Being a half doesn't mean you're losing what you had in the first place. In a very real sense your thinking and acting has a capacity to work on two entirely different planes. Parental love is not a good in limited supply that has to be divided among the offspring. It just expands as if by magic. Worries also have that same capacity to expand, though :P.

Parental love is not a good in limited supply that has to be divided among the offspring. It just expands as if by magic. Worries also have that same capacity to expand, though :P.
But as for relationships, I think that each and every one of them is unique. Stereotyping them would be the same mistake as stereotyping people, because each relationship has its own dynamics, balances, internal and external agents, etc. Everyone's expectations from a long term relationship is different largely dependant on how much they were influenced by the society around them. For me, all I need from my long term relationship is for my other half to be there for me when I need her. I do not ask anything more out of it. That keeps potential disappointments to a minimum.
Of course all that depends on the two (or more >:D )people involved in the relationship, but I find it very healthy in the long term to have separate friends -male and female-, even separate circles if situations dictate it and not feel any animosity as a result of this. Most people would not know what to do with freedom if it was granted to them, and I feel giving this to a person you love is the ultimate act of generosity and good will, not to mention trust.

Interesting indeed!
At university-many moons ago-I took a course in Byzantine History as part of my History degree. Absolutely fascinating area of historical study which was then almost completely ignored outside three other universities in Britain. The course concentrated on the period 1261-1453 but I had already read widely beyond that and have continued to take a deep interest in the history and culture of that amazing Eastern Empire.

In Crete, there's nothing else to be found but culture. 8) 0:) We'll probably be exchanging happy holiday pics of all of our cultural Cretan experiences in Leiden, I really look forward to the occasion! 8) (Hope the other Johan won't scare her away too much, he's really so sober .... 8) 0:):D ;D )

Yes vandermolen. Next week he will use a knitting needle to conduct Miaskovskys 8th and the Divertimento, Op. 80. I will buy him a proper baton for Xmas. Meanwhile this is what I look like. Not far off Dvorak I would suggest (I'm afraid). Note my large lobes which conceal Dvorakian brilliance.

Can you really not understand? I will explain. Saying that he looked smarter than you had thought is not a compliment, it is at best a back handed compliment, but with your track record in terms of the way you have addressed this poster before, it is an insult. So I will leave this and your post around so you can get the hang of this; then both will be deleted.

there was a discussion in another thread here in which Perfect Wagnerite told proudly of how he calls his wife "the wife" instead of calling her by name. Your position sounds similiar, if comparatively private. That's why it was funny :)

M, you know so much more than me about everything, especially religion, that to have you even acknowledge I may, in some small way, be smart (or not so silly as you previously put it) gives me great satisfaction. By the way, on that topic, have you had a chance to recommend some sources on theology and the bible you have read and found interesting? (http://www.good-music-guide.com/community/index.php/topic,9224.msg232485.html#msg232485)
As with these things, there are many factors, many of which I have touched upon in the Amputees thread. But you're right that I haven't mentioned this point yet. My wife played a critical role in my conversion. Specifically, before I met her, I didn't think unconditional love was possible, but she has given it to me continuously. That opened up the door to understanding a loving God. I didn't know it at the time, but this is exactly why marriage in the Catholic Church is a sacrament.

I didn't say you were smart, I said you looked smarter than I had pictured you. But looks can be deceiving, can't they? ;)
But we aren't allowed to go into this here.
BTW, I never said I knew more than you about everything. It just was very obvious to me that you hadn't really done the kind of thorough homework you said you had done prior to your decision for Catholicism. Not about religions in general, and not about Christianity in particular either. But that's a different discussion for different threads.

I have read most of them, again, with a great appreciation for theologians and believers...all of them, any of them that have been in front of me over all these years. I have a vast variety of sources.

So was turning religious a condition to "get the girl"?
I don't understand your point there, but that is just a different personal point of view. For me, the fact that some people, especially women, can give unconditional love shows to me that love is not something imagined "divine", but extremely human, and it also reminds me that despite of this, the church of your choice has traditionally looked down on women and treated them as lower forms of human beings. No matter what endless theological blabla may be available in order to relativize and justify that or simply deny it.

I did enough homework to satisfy myself, and there is no way for you to convince me otherwise. I don't expect you to understand, but if you want to know more about how it all happened, go ahead and PM me. We probably shouldn't clog up this thread with another religious discussion. Plus I am interested in the variety of sources you mentioned, because, as you said, I still have a lot to learn, especially from someone so well read and studied as yourself.
Regarding my engagement, I was an atheist when I proposed.

Re Mussorgsky; I do hope the painter did not feel he had to flatter the sitter and that he looked even rougher. It is one of the great portraits; Repin is one of my favourite artists. As an aside, I am booked to see Boris Godunov at the ENO in London next month. The timings are two hours 10 minutes! I assume no Polish Act, no choral scene at the end. In fact I think it will be just Boris on a bare stage with a pianist who plays very fast.

It used to be widely assumed that the Anglo-Saxon and Danish invaders (which were all Germanic people) pushed back the original Celtic population and replaced them in the area which then became England, but recent genetical testing suggests that at least 80% of the population of England can trace their ancestry directly back to the Celtic people which lived there before the invasions.

Moderation is always subjective, one man's invective is another's mordant sense of humour; as you well know.
So the idea of simple guidelines is rather like the idea of simple rules for taxation; people are always trying to get round them. Some people here have been dealt with for various kinds of spam. The history is important there, as it is the audit trail of intent and it is only with the gathering body of posts that the agenda becomes clear. That is not a unique reason for taking account of the history.
Broadly, Rob wants people to enjoy themselves here, but without either being or facing the unpleasant. As I said earlier; if it is a dog fight you want, do it in private to your hearts content; as long as the other party or parties are as up for that kind of behaviour as you may be. But it does not have a place in the open forum under Rob's rules.

Now, remember; any vaguely negative personal remarks, or really anything else that is snide or disrespectful of others here and the entire thing goes.

But I like cute animal pictures :(
Can't I keep the shark? Isn't it adorable? When you see the picture, don't you want to pet and hug it?
Can I keep the shark? Please :'(

Ah, we must think of nature conservation! ;)
(http://www.ocean.com/resources/HHP%20Gilnetted%20Blue.jpg?0.08209250163465032)
Every year an average of 4 dolphins and 3 turtles are killed in shark nets off NSW beaches.
We're told that we need shark nets to prevent shark attack yet there is more chance of dying in an accident getting to the beach than by being attacked by a shark while you are swimming.
It is a common misconception that shark nets physically prevent sharks from approaching Sydney beaches. In reality, the nets are set on the bottom, do not reach the surface and are open at both ends, so sharks can swim over and around them.
Those that try to swim through them become entangled and drown. This is the only purpose of shark nets – to kill as many sharks as possible. NSW, Queensland and South Africa are the only places in the world that use shark nets.
However, sharks are not the only creatures killed. In addition to dolphins and turtles, hundreds of harmless fish and rays are killed every year. The death list includes the critically endangered and harmless Grey Nurse Shark, wobbegongs, Port Jackson sharks, dugongs, rays and bony fishes.
It is so bad that shark meshing in New South Wales waters is considered a 'key threatening process'. This means it is contributing to the extinction of our marine wildlife. Despite this listing, 49 beaches in Sydney, Wollongong, Newcastle and the Central Coast, covering some 200 kilometres of coast, have nets set at least 13 days per month.
There has been an average of one fatal shark attack in Australia each year for the past 200 years. This is despite the fact that Australia's population has increased massively and the numbers of international tourists and water users have greatly increased. Clearly, individual risks of shark attack are very low.
The Nature Conservation Council of NSW is asking the NSW Government to immediately stop shark netting during September and October, as there has never been a Sydney beach attack in these months since the first record in 1791.
NCC also wants the NSW Government to develop non-lethal alternatives to shark nets.
The environmental price of shark nets is too high. How much time must pass, and how many more sharks and other harmless animals must be killed, before the meshing is gradually but steadily removed?

Wow, I just saw this thread and I'm impressed by how young some members are. I don't take many pictures of myself, but here's two I had taken on my birthday last year:
Here I am with a friend whose birthday is the same day as mine:

and i was really hoping SOMEONE was gonna look like Myaskovsky!!! Why don't people look like composers anymore?
favorite composer face: Bo Linde meets [(Bartok+Ravel)-Scriabin)] (with added goatee (optional))
least fav composer face: Har.....nevermind
I revise-fav composer face has to be Reger. he just looks like he could care less about what you think.

I spent a week in Vermont in the autumn(fall) of 1999. Drove up from Brattleboro and Putney, crossed into the Green Mountains and stayed on Stratton Mountain. Then Manchester, to Woodstock, stayed in Woodstock, over to Brandon and up to Burlington to stay there. Then up Lake Champlain to Swanton, over to Mount Mansfield and Stowe. Stayed in Lyndonville and then to Groton State Forest before heading over to New Hampshire.
Gorgeous, green, autumn weather(although bloody cold in Burlington at night!). I really enjoyed Vermont-although New Hampshire is more spectacular! The state reminded me of some parts of southern England at times.

May I remind you of another thread here, at the Diner, titled: "Are there women on this forum?" And the answer is: "Yes", - and now you are my screensaver! :-*
Yeah, that monastery does look nice. Unfortunately, I take up most of the space in the photo :D

I'm sure glad I don't look like that, since I'm not sure I have the strength of character required for my commitment to marital fidelity to survive constant testing!

Amazingly, I just posted in Paul's Thread about starting a new one on 'what we looked like as younsters'! ;D
Well, some 'oldsters' posts - my wife (Susan) & I have started 'horse riding' lessons - why at our age? Who knows, but we take a lot of weekend trips around the Carolinas & Virginia, and horseback riding is often an option, so guess we wanted to have that as a choice - probably 'dangerous' @ our ages, but what the heck! ;) :D
Last Friday, we took a lesson together @ a local stable (about 15 mins from our house but in the country) - runned by an interesting 'couple' - the husband is from South Africa & the wife grew up locally, although they met in England (concerning 'horse activities') - she is the Wake Forest University 'Dressage' coach, so quite impressive.
But, below are just a few pics of us on one of their many horses, Pokey, an affectionate mare about 5+ hands - notice our helmets - don't want to fall off @ that height w/o some head protection! But, loving the experience - BTW, should I being doing this? ;) ;D

Hi Lis - yep, no 'seat belts' or 'air bags' - about the only choice is the type of saddle - we chose the 'western style' (shown below, left), which is the basic 'cowboy' saddle - big, a good seat, a horn in front; of course, the option is the 'English style' (below, right) - much smaller & not much to 'grab onto' - balance/legs/etc. much more important in keeping in the saddle; now I don't plan to try 'bare back' riding! ;) ;D Dave

Very nice photo Colin - the caption of which I originally misread as 'listening to music with Sibelius' :o (although, in point of fact, your grandfather looked more like Bruckner). How do you still remember that it was Sibelius? I am most impressed. The other photo is also nice - you are instantly recognizable.

Well my grandfather-like Bruckner-was an organist ;D
I am pretty sure that it was Sibelius we were listening to-Sibelius was a musical god to my father and grandfather :)

Sarge - love that pic w/ the 'pet lion' - is that really true? If so, brought up as a cub & how long was the relationship (hope that you're not jealous)? ;) ;D
As you might recall, I was born in Toledo, Ohio, and my mother who was from a 'large' family during the depression was actually put in an orphanage because her parents had no money to raise them - they survived & the kids remained together; but when she married and had 3 boys, all in the Toledo Hospital, she just wanted to please us as much as possible - despite living in a city & in a small house near Monroe Street, she did let us 'bring up' a bunch of different animals - we had chicks & ducks in the house (until they outgrew the corner in the living room), and of course cats & dogs - BUT, I must say never a lion! ;D
Below is a pic of the three brothers from that time in Toledo - I'm the oldest on the left; we were 3 years apart - Jackie (named after my father) is far right, and the youngest Rory (named after a relative of my father's mother who was 100% Irish, born on Beaver Island, upper Lake Michigan, to Irish immigrants in the late 1880s) - I was probably about 7 y/o at the time (maybe an early 8?) - Dave :)

I know perfectly well that, after that picture was taken, you probably ran out and threw a rock at a class-mate's head... but still:
You were also able to sit still like that. Nowadays we try to medicate the rock-throwing and spit-ball blowing out of boys and
at the same time wonder why they can't sit still when it's actually important. Strange times these are when we are trying to fix

How funny that you found that. Once they read my letter, Olympia,Warner, Alto, DGG etc all leapt into action. ;D

Not actually me ;D but this is a photograph of an amateur orchestra in a town near Edinburgh in Scotland during the Second World War. The orchestra raised money for the war effort. My father is playing the timpani :)

Not in this particular photograph....but I do remember him telling me that Sibelius's 'Finlandia' was a regular favourite. Maybe slightly odd-it just occurs to me-given that Finland was fighting on the German side ??? Playing the opening timpani roll of 'Finlandia' used to terrify my father ;D

Great picture. Did your father influence your love of classical music, contribute to it? Here's my mother in 1947, age 16.
(http://photos.imageevent.com/sgtrock/asheville/img374_700.jpg)
She was very accomplished. She began studying piano at age of six, organ at 12 (by her mid-teens she was church organist). She continued to play after marriage, and after six children (me the first). She usually played in the late afternoons shortly before Dad was due home, shortly before beginning dinner. I often sat beside her on the bench, listening to Schumann, Chopin, Rachmaninoff, her favorite composers. She must have influenced me (since I love piano music too). But why none of my sisters developed the same passion for music is one of the great mysteries.

Oh, hugely ;D My earliest memories are of playing with, sometimes breaking, but also of listening to my father's old 78s of music like Finlandia, the orchestral excerpts from Tannhauser, Beethoven, Mascagni and Gilbert and Sullivan :)

Thank you, gentlemen. She was a beautiful woman, with the looks of 40s movie star. My parents met by accident. He'd arranged a date with my mother's best friend. They were to meet at the soda shop...how 40s is that? ;D My mother went along as a chaperone (my father had quite a reputation apparently). My father took one look at my mother, sitting on the stool at the counter, and promptly forgot his real date :D

Palestrina, Bach and Mozart more likely :)
Hmm. Both Palestrina and Mozart are rather `pagan' composers, aren't they? ;) But I think you're right concerning Wolfgang Amadeus, as I found this remark in the Internet:
>> Joseph Alois Ratzinger was born April 16, 1927, in Marktl am Inn in Bavaria, the youngest of three children. It was a part of a region long within the orbit of Salzburg, in Austria, Mozart's birthplace. A pianist, Cardinal Ratzinger expressed a great love for the composer. <<

I am sure that I read somewhere that the Mozart Requiem had been performed in the Vatican.
Anyway, the Pope doesn't seem very keen on Langgaard or Delius, apparently! Too louche for his tastes it seems ;D

Why? (As in why do you specifically mention that? :)) Isn't the Requiem Mass part of Roman Catholicism? Or, was the musical setting unacceptable to the Pontiff?

Though Delius' amanuensis in his later years (when he was blind and paralyzed), Eric Fenby, was a devout Catholic - as you might know. Fenby's account of his talks about his personal creed with the fierce Nietszchean composer in his book `Delius as I knew him' are both funny and moving, imo.
And as concerns Rued Langgaard, he did wear a dress sometimes, as this picture from 1932 testifies:
(http://www.musikbibliotek.dk/images/83/21425-130586.jpg)
(And anyhow his trousers were often too short and his hair too long :-)

Yes, the one on the right is Sibelius. The other one is a young Akira Ifukube (1914-2006) a Japanese composer.

There is a LOT of information there, Erik (Homenick - that's you, right?)
Also this:
"The title "Tapkaara" refers to a kind of Ainu dancing style. This ritualistic dance is performed by a male; the dancer stretches his arms out in front and stamps his feet. In this dance, there is a sense of appreciating nature's blessings and praising the god Earth."
I think I'll need some time to absorb everything. But the site is excellent, I must say, and it looks very professional.

I think the site is somewhat crude, but I've tried to do the best I can with the tools and knowledge I have, and it is what it is. Anyway, I hope the contect of the site makes up for any aesthetic shortcomings the site may have.
And yes, Tapkaara is an Ainu dance and the title of one of Ifukube's works, Sinfonia Tapakaara.

Well, I had been a fan of the composer for a long time. As a kid, I had known (and loved) his music from watching Godzilla movies. You see, Ifukube was the priciple composer for that series of films, as well as for a host of other Japanese films. When I started getting into classical music, I discovered that Ifukube was also a very well respected "serious" composer of concert works, so it seemed like a smart thing to do to seek these works out since I liked his film works so much.
Indeed, I fell in love even more with the composer's sound and a study of his life and works became a passion of mine.
When he died in 2006, I felt compelled to open a website about him, representing the years of research I had done on him. Certainly, no such site existed in English...not even in Japanese. This was a shame to me since he is/was one of the most widely recorded Japanese composers in his country.
So, I put the site together about a month after he died in 2006 and it's been going on strong ever since.

There are actually two "official sites," mine and this other one. Mine is the official English site, that on is the official Japanese site. Both of our sites have links to each other. In other words, both sites have permission from the composer's estate to use this designation. So, while my site started as a "fan site," it did get the attention of the Ifukube family and they were very supportive. I asked their permission for the "official" moniker, which they granted. So it goes...

You can find some stuff of Amazon. I vigorously recommend the disc of his original 1954 Godzilla score, which is easily available on Amazon. It is the original recordings, so the sound is pretty low-fi. But it's a very brooding, haunting score. Here are some samples on YouTube:
Godzilla's Attack on Tokyo:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-Xhl...eature=related
Godzilla on the Ocean Floor:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8TDb...F5C40&index=11
End Music:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPYX7...eature=related
Godzilla's Roar and foot falls:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-H6ek98I4Tk
Yes, these effects were also created by the composer. The roars were created when the composer took a resin coated lether gloved and ran it across the loosed string of a double base. He then slowed the playback speed of the tape and we have the monster's famous cry. The foot falls were done by striking an amplifier box wood a knotted length of rope.

I dimly recall the roar and footsteps. My elder brother had recurring nightmares of Godzilla rampaging through our street :-[ - must have been early sixties...
Would you recommmend tha one (http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B0000061GJ/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&condition=used) ? It seems to be bits and snippets, nothing comprehensive.

That is the disc you just heard samples from. It's the original 1954 soundtrack. Godzilla on the Ocean Floor is indeed included.

I think, however, that this is because of the type of fabric generally used for black socks is different than that generally used for white socks. In my experience, I've had sweatier feet with a variety of different materials of black socks...

Trafalgar Sq has been largely pedestrianised. There are various statues there, for some reason, in one corner there is a plinth, but no stature. Currently the sculptor Anthony Gormley has a project running where members of the public get onto the plinth and can do about anything they like, sing, stand still, make a speech, design and throw paper aeroplanes. 24 hours a day 100 days. Here is a link to the webcam....

That is why I am only showing Kimi the Tchaikovsky photo. I figured that by the time Kimi finally gets to meet Uncle Harry, Uncle Harry will probably look closer to Tchaikovsky.

This was taken on Sept. 6 at a Labor Day service featuring songs about work. It was my new guitar's public debut. I was singing the labor ballad "Joe Hill." Standing behind me is our minister, Charlie Davis. I even played along with some rock songs, "Takin' Care of Business" and "I Might Die Tonight." I was the oldest rocker on the stage--and proud of it! :D

Well, Susan (a.k.a. Harpo) & I have just returned from a wonderful stay in Myrtle Beach, SC - on a beautiful Saturday, we drove 3 miles down a dirt road (quite a contrast to the usual perception of MB) to an isolated site which included wonderful woods adjacent to the intracoastal waterway. We took an one-hour horse ride which weaved between the woods & along the waterway - great experience.
Below are just some pics of us on our horses (Easy & Sage before the start of our adventure - there was a professional photographer who took the pics (sent us a CD-R at an inflated price!) - so I selected the images, cropped & resized! ;D
P.S. Click on the images for enlargements - :)

I think it's more a video game on film than a real movie. Belief is suspended, and so is common artistic sense. In its totally synthetic way it is very well made.

I actually find it very artistic. It certainly has a thesis.

Substituting 'graphic novel' (which it is, almost panel-to-panel) for 'video game' (inherently interactive), I don't think I could have put it better! :)

FWIW-- My avatar is a picture taken of me (and son) taken in temple in Thailand about 100 miles inland on Dec 26 2004-- the day of the great Tsunami. We didn't find out about it until a couple hours later. As it turns out, a friend of my wife's panicked when she couldn't get a hold of us, and we were listed "among the missing" for a couple days on the CNN website. This prompted the local Fox News affiliate to send a camera crew out to our neighborhood to interview our neighbors about our grisly deaths. They were disappointed to find out we were alive.
Anyway-- this picture has a lot of significance for me-- the time when "reports of my death were greatly exaggerated".

To be honest, I had too much Singha (Thai malt liquor) the night before, so I was feeling tremors all morning. :-b
Seriously, it wasn't all that noticeable where we were, which may have contributed to the Tsunami's lethality. If the tremors were more noticeable on the coast, perhaps more lives would have been saved.

That's interesting. Tremors were felt here -- I guess the ocean must've carried it better than the land masses(?) -- although I was fast asleep to notice anything early that fateful Sunday morning. I'm glad that at least you and yours managed to get out safely. :)

I'd rather have a reality show, with one account being eliminated every week.
One episode could start off...
One lazy afternoon, the sound of Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun is coming from the speakers of a bedroom. All is peaceful, until M Forever slams open the door and throws his double bass at Eric.
"Guten Morgen! Not! Go do the dishes, you lazy, stupid, unprofessional motherf***er like I told you to."
Eric sighs and heads toward the kitchen.
Meanwhile, outside, Sean is ranting about the flaws of Western culture to Jessica and extolling the virtues of the Thai culture.
"That's really weird what the Thailand ladies do to when you give them money," says Jessica. "I hear that in some places in the world, they don't have much, and they're sad. I hope your money makes them happy." (http://serve.mysmiley.net/love/love0016.gif) (http://www.mysmiley.net/free-sad-smileys.php)
Sydney Grew joins the conversation. "We most certainly enjoy the cuisine of Thailand."
"I never told you that," said Sean.
"Then why did you say 'we'?" asks Jessica.
"Because it is a fact- we enjoy Thai cuisine," says Sydney.
"Stop making up lies," says Jessica. "Liar, liar, pants on fire!" (http://serve.mysmiley.net/sick/sick0002.gif) (http://www.mysmiley.net/free-laughing-smileys.php)
"Did I hear the word 'fire'?" Rob Newman bursts in the room.
"Oh, don't worry, nothing is on fire," says Jessica.
"Did you know fire is a conspiracy?"
Everyone does a facepalm at the same time except for Jessica.
"Wow, I didn't know that."
"Yeah, it was really the aliens who invented fire. Originally (and it has been scientifically proven), there was no way for the earth's atmosphere to produce fire that could be made by humans. So, one day, a green alien who worked as a plumber for a living on the planet UbloobideegaItaly named Luigi came down to earth and gave us fire. So, human kind should not be credited for the invention of fire... not even the light bulb, although that's another story."
"Wow, that's super cool!"
Later that evening, Rod Corkin holds a concert in the living room. He plans to premiere his Sonata for Solo Violin. He picks up the violin and plucks the G String. He puts it down and takes a bow. Then everyone goes to bed.

I just Google Image searched myself for the first time to see what would come up. Two screenshots from a computer game I reviewed one time. Whew!
BTW, no pictures of Gary Larson come up when you search for him. Only cartoons.

At the tropical animal Zoo in Cairns, Australia. Those were taken two years ago when i was visiting my sister in Australia. Those two girls are my (beloved) nieces. My depression wasn't as advanced then, plus, i'm generally a pretty amiable guy in real life. Its only on the internet that my brooding side shows up, for whatever reason.

I figured that was the case. Are your nieces twins? Although the one at the back looks taller, but that could be because of the picture.

Oh yeah. I would have seen miles and miles of Oklahoma this morning too, if it hadn't been all secreted in fog. The car felt like it was going up sometimes, and equally as often as though it was going down, so I guess there were hills = scenery. More's the pity... :)

Yeah you drove through like half of the state and didn't see much of it, and you must have crossed the Arbuckles which is usually a scenic drive, ah what a pity. Well at least you didn't die in a fiery wreck due to low visibility! So it's not too bad. :D

Nah, there was never a hope of that. I would have liked to see some of it though. I am keen on sightseeing. Which can be a trick at 80 mph with Schubert blasting and talking to my wife on the cell phone.... >:D

Gurn, I'm pretty sure you have a dog as a pet. I am hoping that wasn't your dog that got molested by the 'coon. :D ;D We have raccoons scurrying at night in our backlane, and our two dogs are smaller than them.

Gurn - my 6th visit (I believe) to San Antonio, but first for Susan - she had a great time and has plenty of presents to take home to NC in the morning; she especially enjoyed the eating (been posting in the vacation & eating threads & just left my last day's experience eating in the latter). A highly recommended place to visit in TX - plenty of history, beautiful city, good eats, and almost like being 'south of the border' - Dave :D

A lot of "revelations" these days.
Anyway, the most shocking was JdP's picture. He looks so normal and integrated, amongst children and exotic animals. A nice surprise. :)

Ok, gentlemen, I'm in.
Yours truly, last year in Venice.
Standing on that side of that very bridge a few years ago an American couple asked me what sea they were looking at.
One of the friends I was with...there were eight of us celebrating my wife's birthday in style with sparkly wine out of Venetian glasses, snorted the juice down his nose and left me to try to explain it without taking the Mick out of them.
Also you guys....you are babies, it is just not fair. I am old enough to have fathered any of you! (Though I did not and I am sure you all have the fathers you deserve. My sole son certainly has; for bad and for good.)

Here's a couple of pics from when I went to Kentucky. My sister just decided to upload them on facebook, so now I have 2 of them.
(http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/8/14/1346899//Me,%20Angie,%20Dad.jpg)
Left- me; Middle- sister; Right- dad.
This is the big clock in Somerset, which gets really loud whenever a new hour strikes.
(http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/8/14/1346899//Me,%20Dad,%20Danielle,%20Destiny.jpg)
The two below are my sister's daughters (my nieces)- even though they look barely younger, or almost the same age (I'm only about 6 or 7 years older than them, I think). They like to take pictures, so that's pretty much all we did :D. There really isn't anything to do in Somerset... :D

Age of sisters's daughters = unknown. :D Somewhere between 14 and 16. The older one (blonde one) might be freshman in high school. I don't know, because that was the first time I even saw her.
This typifies your problem with girls/women in general, Greg. This is the first time you've seen them and you didn't bother to ask your sister or her daughters the most basic questions about their lives?...like what grade they're in, how how old they are? ;D Dude, you desperately need to learn how to make conversation :D

OK... can I call TMI? I'm trying to (but very nearly can't) ignore either the sordid family affairs of GMG-members or fellow member oogling the very minor nieces of said members... in fact, I'm beginning to feel uncomfortable even with the word "members" at this rate. ;)

Why did you quote me? I'm just curious as to why Greg doesn't know the ages of his sister and nieces (I've no interest in knowing myself....any female younger than 53 is too young for me ;D ) Nothing pruient here.

Jens, I have not noticed anything that concerns me here and believe me, I have in the past stepped in when I felt there was an unhealthy interest being shown. Esp re Sarge's contribution....I can entirely see his line there; greg does seem to have dropped the ball in making entirely normal enquiries into his relatives' lives. As a result he is unable to relate a sensible narrative about them.
An observation on greg, not a criticism from me.

An easy feat, of course. Queen Victoria was not much of a prude, especially in comparison to her husband, Prince Albert. Victoria had an immense fondness for paintings of nudes, and Albert, as a good "Victorian" (ironic term!), thought that nudes were awful and needed to be covered up. On at least one occasion Victoria used her higher rank to play great tricks on Albert by planting his favorite rooms with nude paintings when he thought they were safe to look into!

Quote: 'The exhibition, which opens at The Queen's Gallery in Buckingham Palace on March 19, details how Prince Albert commissioned a statue of himself in Greek armour by Emil Wolff, the German sculptor, for Queen Victoria's 23rd birthday in 1841.'
Now who amongst us has not done the self same thing?
Quote 'Two years later the statue was finally placed on a remote staircase out of the sight of visitors at Osborne House, the queen's palace on the Isle of Wight, and she recorded that the reason for the hesitation had been "Albert thinking the Greek armour with bare legs and feet looked too undressed in a room".
At the prince's request a second version was made, featuring less exposed flesh.'

They didn't really try to talk to me, either, and I don't normally start conversations, so that's why I can say much more. I did know their ages but forgot them over time.

Too bad she doesn't post anymore- besides being cute and a cool person, she even used to post tons of youtube classical concert videos that you wouldn't find anywhere else (oh yeah, having the same birthday as me is cool, too). :D

There seems to have been many GMG members that have disappeared. Too bad, because the more the merrier. :)

Yes, that is an Ibanez SA-160. I'm not sure if it's made anymore, but I haven't really played it in years. It probably needs a lot work done to it by now.
Here is a stock picture of it:

MI - as a frequent visitor to New Orleans, I'm sure that you are standing in front of St. Louis Cathedral, which has an equestrian stature of Andrew Jackson not far from where your are located - just a clarification for those not familiar w/ this fabulous city - of course, the famous Cafe Du Monde (http://www.cafedumonde.com/) is nearby - :D

Error corrected! I don't know why I thought the name of the cathedral was St. Paul. Anyway, not long after this picture was taken I went to Cafe Du Monde and had some coffee and those delicious beignets. My mouth is watering as we speak! :D
I should mention that I didn't really have all that pleasant of a vacation in New Orleans. One of the biggest problems for me was the humidity. I was there around May and I don't think I sweated that much in my life. Even after a shower, I felt dirty. It rained one day while I was there and this did cool things off, but when it quit raining, the heat got worse. Needless to say, I spent a lot of time cooling off in my hotel room. Thank goodness for air conditioning!

Yes, the city has recovered quite nicely. There were a lot of people there when I visited, which was in '08. I always wanted to go to New Orleans and now that I've gotten a taste of what the city has to offer, I have no desire to go back. I didn't really connect at all with the vibe of the city. I stayed there for a week, so I don't think time was an issue, but more of a matter of trying to fit in and get a feel for the city. I also didn't care much for the people there.

Hi John - the city really has not recovered at this point - I use to visit every other year (and in response to MI's edit - the summer months are horrible for humidity, so plan your trip in early spring or the fall!) - last spring Susan (i.e. Harpo) and I decided to revisit after Katrina did its damage (check HERE (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Katrina) for more details on that 2005 hurricane) just to support the city and leave some money there!
Katrina flooded 80% or more of the city of New Orleans & the surrounding parishes, such as St. Bernard parish (in LA, counties are known as parishes, a French thing); however, the famous French Quarter (and much of the Garden District) were not affected by this natural catastrophe (the worst in USA history) because these areas where built on the HIGHEST sites in the area (wise decision many years ago), so the sites most visited by tourists were not really impacted on this terrible disaster!
However, much of the rest of the city & surroundings were miserably flooded! In our recent visit, we took a 'Katrina Tour' - the guide was a middle-aged women who had lived in St. Bernard parish - with the flood surge, her house was cover to the roof top and she lost ALL things dear to her many years there - this is just one story in thousands of inhabitants of this city - many have still not returned - quite SAD!
But for those who live near to visit this wonderfully historic city, please go and leave some of your money - it's a wonderful place and needs much support for recovery; and if you do visit, look for a Katrina tour to better understand HOW MUCH damage really occurred! Dave

I stayed in the French Quarter and that part of the city didn't have hardly any damage at all (if any). I don't want to make it sound like I didn't enjoy myself, because I did. I met some jazz musicians (two of them Marsalis brothers --- Delfeayo and Jason) and guitarist Steve Masakowski (who has made several recordings for Blue Note Records and other labels). This was probably the most fun I had in the city. I also just enjoyed exploring the city particularly the French Quarter with its myriad of shops and Jackson Square. I walked down Magazine St. and this was pretty neat. Anyway, I just didn't connect with the locals there, but talking with other musicians was great.

Well, pertinent to other recent posts in this thread, age has little impact, right? Really, the number of discs desired (for whatever reasons) and the amount of money available to buy them likely are more important factors! ;D
For me 'storage space' in my house of 34 yrs is an issue - I could buy MANY more discs if desired (fortunately I'm selective and certain genre, such as opera is not in my area of interest - sorry to those who love opera); however, I'll be retiring in June of this year and plan to stay in the same house, so SPACE is more important to me at the moment; I'll just purchase & cull out the older discs and hopefully will not need a LOT more space - this can really be an important consideration for many of us! ;) ;D Dave

No, unlike myself apparently, some can retire while they can still be mobile. :D Congratulations to Harry for that, probably his greatest single accomplishment. :)

In Italy the whole concept of retiring is obsolete. There's just no work, period. I think people really need to be careful when they say "Europe" but really mean Norway.
And "greatest" is relative, and nobody ever said America was the greatest, just the most powerful. Which it is. They have the highest GPD and the strongest military.

So this chart tells us why they retire or is it just the age?
As JdP mentions, things are quite relative.

Highest GDP will last for a few more years. Then the US will insist on having the most powerful military without the largest GDP, which will have the same effect on the US that it did on the USSR.

Very true. Although, the numbers are sometimes far too kind to China's growth, but I think in our lifetimes that they will assuredly surpass the US. Plus the US already can't support its military infrastructure.

I suppose it would depend if they were coped first. I've often seen my CD collection as a ball and chain around my leg - a massive consumerist monument which draws raised eyebrows when people see my half-wall of CD racks. I've often considered copying and selling after scanning the covers and booklet notes, but that would take far too much effort to be practical.
Also: my first post in this thread, wow. I tend to avoid it for some reason, and clicked it by accident.

Yes; it's true to some extent that GMG, despite being heaven in comparison to, say, your average gaming forum, does require the cultivation of a certain specialised species of tolerance. I do believe that's why my frequent concert fellow, Colin (Dundonnell), is away these days - though for me, it was just lack of spare time.
I think really the only person on this forum who's genuinely managed to get under my skin is David(Ross), but I do think that's more due to our peculiar temperaments and backgrounds, and possibly our tempers - certainly mine - interacting in a manner that's less than ideal, rather than any active intent to harass from either side.
And unlike the aforementioned gaming (and many other forums), we are mostly all grown up people here, mostly-sort-of-maybe able to agree to disagree. ;)

I've worn a beard for a very long time (my 17-year-old son has never seen me without one) and I originally grew it partly because I thought it would be easier than shaving. I've kept it because I like the way it looks, but I find keeping it properly trimmed more time-consuming and difficult than shaving every morning.

I have a modest amount of hair, which is invisible in the photo, as it is white, my wife says it is silver.

Yes, it was Edinburgh. I had forgotten there was evidence, as I generally don't have my photo taken. Surely that is a full set! No need for more.
I have had trouble getting photos across from my computer or even posted from Photobucket. I have blog with that single small photo of me on it, otherwise mainly travel photos and writing. I realised I could copy photos from there, thus the new one. Think I need to take some brain food for improved memory.

I have wanted to visit for ages. I ordered on-line a Blue Guide to the area. This was on the assumption it would be more through than the kind of guide I normally buy. I topped it up with something called a 'Wallpaper Guide, sold as being a stylish guide to the city. The former devotes only 20 pages to the city, the latter is like a Sunday Supplement with practical information removed. I do however know where to buy retro furnature, a likely purchase whilst utilising Easyjet, ha! So, now a THIRD guide is winging its way to me, the usual Insight publication, reliable and illustrated and useful.
The aim will be to get to Ravenna for the day and devote the rest of the time to relaxing in Bologna and trying not to overeat.

Wenn alle Mädchen wären mein,
So tauschte ich brav Zukker ein.
Die welche mir am liebsten wär,

Und küsste sie mich zärtlich dann,

I would honestly rather do a buzzcut, because it's cheaper to do that yourself, but it would probably look awful, so I don't. I also used to have it normal and parted to the side, but it never looked good that way.

In honor of my 200th post, I've decided to include a picture of myself...
It's similar to my avatar, but a much better angle, makes me look years younger.

I like the flat cap (I prefer the English design to the American "golf caddy" look), and bought a few when a shop around the corner was selling them cheap. But they only had M and XL, so I had to buy XLs, which were too large. I ended up giving them away (to someone with a bigger head). :(
Good hats are too expensive, around here anyway (Australian retail has a massive markup). I could buy one through Amazon - if I wanted to pay $40 shipping.

I know nobody would laugh, I'll post a pic soon, not even sure if I have a recent one, may take a little time to find one. The past two years I've taken about 2000 pics, but all of my son.

For those who don't follow the Havergal Brian thread, here are three GMGers in one picture, at the Royal Albert Hall after the the Brian concert, on 17th July. My good self in the middle (my sister took the picture...), to my left is my friend Michiel Schuijer, the young man in glasses is our very own Brian (Reinhart), and next to him, half-concealed, is Luke (Ottevanger). A memorable night!

Little does the guy about to present Cato with an award know that he is about to experience something very mysterious.

You're the guy in the painting on the wall, but now let me guess the Romanians: the guy in sweater, front row right; the second babe from the right, back row; the first babe left, back row; and possibly the babe in white, front row left. How did I score? :)

The Romanians in the picture are: the photographer (you are wrong there ;)), the man in the sweater, front row right (correct), the FIRST girl from the right, back row (wrong there), the first girl at the left, back row (correct), the man to the left (wrong again) holding his arm around the girl, who's Hungarian (Hungarian Hungarian, I mean) (wrong again). All five are students of Sociology from Brasov.
So you score two out of five (four visible), and mistake a Czech/Moravian (from Ostrava) and Hungarian (Budapest) woman for compatriots. Brave modern world. :D

The only thing Dutch in the picture is that seemingly orange-colored speaking trumpet or whatever it is you hold in your right hand. Otherwise you still look Greek (and even Turkish) to me. 8) ;D :D

That's right! Haha...
I actually liked Ernest Saves Christmas and Ernest Goes To Jail. They're just stupid, thoughtless movies, but they're fun to watch on occasion. There are times when you're just tired and don't want to think, you know, and one of these crazy movies always helps me wind-down before sinking my teeth into something of more substance.

My daughter is 7, and my son will be 1 1/2 in a few days. My wife of almost 13 years is lovely as ever.
No, I don't have an orange nose and a shock of bright red hair. :D I'm the goofy-looking guy in the gray jacket...

Cute couple. Was that the last time Harpo drank wine? ;) (You've mentioned she doesn't share your vinous passion.)
As we talked about elsewhere, my wedding (first marriage) took place a year after yours, July 1971. It didn't have anywhere near your marriage's longevity, though.

I've had it once. I don't recall if it made the food even better, but the food was sensational: her Romanian grandmother's legendary stuffed cabbage, slow cooked on a coal burning stove deep in the Pennsylvanian wilderness.

Unfortunately, it got sort of eclipsed by the rest of my dream, part of which involved a sentient fudge brownie behaving creepily toward women.

Well, as mentioned previously, I've been scanning in a LOT of old photos & slides - just found one inserted above - Susan & I, but 40 years later on a recent trip to Quebec (Ch. Frontenac, out hotel, in the background) - a wonderful trip! BOY, how time can change one's appearance - Dave :)

Hey Paul - actually when I was a young radiology resident (about 3 yrs after that wedding pic), one of the rad techs who I liked use to call me Radar after the character played by Gary Burghoff in Mash - out of curiosity, just found a 'then-now' combo pic of him below - maybe a closer resemblance in our younger days? :) Dave

I have posted my current features as my avatar - it was taken on a visit to Liverpool and a meeting with my children on 3rd Sept 2013. What I am horrified by is how old I have become in appearance. Between the ages of 40 and 47 (now) I have put on a good 20 years in only 7. I have since shaved the beard, but it has only taken 5 of the 20 years away. :'(
Never mind. I am still as daft as ever. ;D

I'm half Scot (sorry, it would reveal too much to say my name). Does Scotland hold any charms for me? I've been to (spelling) Drumnadrochet, beautiful hills on the Loch. But why would I want to go there? How are careers (hahah)?? Is Scotland a sad country? I've heard you guys are screwed politically... or did I?? Wassup with Scotland?
btw- people say I look like a serial killer, so, mm... I mean, they're usually pretty good looking, eh? haha

The worst day of fighting at Spotsylvania resulted in as many casualties (meaning killed, missing, wounded, captured) as occurred on DDay, including both Allied and Axis, about 19,000. For the full battle, which ran for several days, the total was about 32,000, about 1/5th of the total men involved, with about 4700 killed outright. By comparison, total dead for June 6, 1944 was about 5000, not including civilians.

Interesting. I love American history (minored in it "by accident"), but I never really liked military history much. It's certainly a popular area of history, though.
I've also been to the beaches in Normandy and saw all of the seaweed-covered 'capsules'.

Okay, here's a picture of me from 2009 conducting my high school's orchestra. It's poor quality because it's a snapshot from a video. We had an awesome music program and seniors could choose a piece to play as a soloist for the last Spring concert -- really an amazing opportunity, yet most seniors didn't want to do this (it was optional). I was thinking of Bartok's 1st Rhapsody for violin and orchestra, but the director suggested that I use the opportunity to conduct a composition of mine.
It was actually quite an evil piece because it starts with the viola section quietly playing a lyrical theme alone in the key F# major (six sharps, plus a lot of accidentals and no reliable tonal center). Considering there wasn't much rehearsal time, I was very happy with the result and grateful to have the opportunity.

Now you won't think I look like Ravel every time you read a post of mine!

Perhaps it was that time that Karl became a blue mage because he wanted to take down an enemy that wanted to destory Vana'diel. At first I thought, wtf? Karl is a bard! Maybe somewhat of a spoony bard, but a bard nonetheless. So after switching to blue mage, he scoured all of the critters in Vana'diel to learn their spells and ended up preparing for the final battle. He ended up subbing bard, though, so he went as a level 99 BLU/49 BRD and confronted the final enemy. That enemy was Saul Dzorevashvili, who plays as a

It was actually quite an evil piece because it starts with the viola section quietly playing a lyrical theme alone in the key F# major (six sharps, plus a lot of accidentals and no reliable tonal center). Considering there wasn't much rehearsal time, I was very happy with the result and grateful to have the opportunity.

Actually, that's a huge coincidence right there. I've never heard what exists of Mahler 10 (though I've heard of it), but I just checked IMSLP and saw the opening. It's a totally different melody (and mine is in 9/8 time), but it fits the description I gave perfectly.

Only the hairline. George has got much stronger features, IMO. I would even go so far as to say, based on looks alone, George should be the well known actor and Giametti should be posting on classical music sites... :P

Well, it's been 3 months of pretty simple, for me.
*Eating healthy, natural, whole foods (cut out all processed sugars, and vast majority of processed foods). Reducing carb consumption.
*Exercise (a mix of cardio and resistance/strength/weights) 45 min/3 times a week
*Got off of a night time anti-depressant that was known for weight gain and night time food cravings. Plus, I wake up refreshed (not groggy) and for the first time in four years, I can dream again! :)
I still have some little treats now and then: a glass of red wine or glass of dark beer, and some pieces of dark chocolate. :)
Feel great, happier, healthier. I guess for me, life begins at 40. ;D

Congratulations, Ray! That sounds like an excellent plan. Keep it up! Speaking of weight loss, I went to the doctor for a check-up last year and she said I lost 20 lbs. She asked me what I was doing differently and I said eating less and when I do eat a big meal, I won't eat hardly anything for the rest of the day. Maybe some pistachios or some cereal, but that's about it.

Thanks, John. Actually, for me, this was my downfall. I wasn't eating breakfast, and rarely lunch. I would eat a big meal at night time, and snack late at night due to that medication.

Actually I agree 100%! Ft. Worth has that "old town" feel to it, with the brick streets and the older architecture. You feel like you can actually breathe there.
Dallas has changed a lot in recent years. It's trying really hard to fast-track itself onto the "Madison Avenue" map with all its glam and trendiness. Downtown is nothing like it used to be. The high-rise condos alone have multiplied like rabbits. Although admittedly Dallas has done itself proud with its new opera house.

Thanks, John. Actually, for me, this was my downfall. I wasn't eating breakfast, and rarely lunch. I would eat a big meal at night time, and snack late at night due to that medication.
Eating something heavy before bed can definitely put on the pounds. I suffered from this habit for too long, but, now, as I've mentioned, I'll something light during the night.

No, actually I'm from "deep-in-the-hearta Texas": Austin. I've never lived in any other state. The cap is just something I picked up because I liked the denim look of it and the red "B" really looks nice against the denim.
It for sure helps that it's a Red Sox cap though as I used to be a huge Clemens fan back in the day. :)

If you ever travel to China, I will see if I can arrange a China Premiere of HenningMusik! (Now, if only I can get the first lady, who is a soprano, to sing in the premiere... humm...)

Anyone watch Game of Thrones? A while ago (like early this year) someone told me I look like one of the characters from the series, but I can't remember the name. I looked up the cast and there are really only two possibilities. I'm more like a complete hybrid between the two. He also said to not look the character up because of what happens to them. I did and both die gruesome deaths (I guess that's the norm for this series?). So now I'll have no idea which character he was talking about. :P
Theon Greyjoy (https://www.google.com/search?q=theon+greyjoy&es_sm=122&biw=1920&bih=922&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=c-53VPylOsWkNueBg9gF&sqi=2&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAQ#imgdii=_)
Viserys Targaryen (https://www.google.com/search?q=Viserys+Targaryen&es_sm=122&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=q-53VPvpFYKlNvqMguAB&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAQ&biw=1920&bih=922)

I assume he means Theon Greyjoy...but he doesn't die. His fate is worse than death! I'm sure this is what your "friend" meant.

Isn't it the best when someone thinks about you when he sees a castration scene on television? Silliness aside, you should definitely make the time to watch the show sometime or, better yet, read the books.

I ran across this one from an old photo album. This one was taken probably around '98. The location is Hilton Head, SC.

A moment of reflection. This photograph brings back a lot of memories. I remember meeting some nice people on this vacation and even making many friends, which, most of whom, oddly enough, were from Augusta, GA (about two hours away from my city).

My friend and I went ice skating at a new ice rink that opened up outside of the mall five minutes from my house. I hadn't been ice skating for probably 15 years. Here is me in a rare moment I wasn't slipping and falling.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/farr29jmhvfhhy8/Photo%20Dec%2021%2C%2011%2033%2047%20AM.jpg)
My friend was going nice and slow, but didn't fall once. I'd build up speed and then slip or crash into a wall every minute. We probably had the same average speed overall.

Impractical for some situations like the theatre, as it's big, but for going to work etc its perfect: comfortable, never blows off, warm but breathes, keeps rain and snow off the glasses.
I bought a fedora in December. My specification was something Robert Mitchum would have worn in 1948. That had to be translated to Bogart for the hat store guy :laugh: But the goal, 90% achieved, was an Out of the Past Mitchum hat.

It is indeed.
Impractical for some situations like the theatre, as it's big, but for going to work etc its perfect: comfortable, never blows off, warm but breathes, keeps rain and snow off the glasses.
I bought a fedora in December. My specification was something Robert Mitchum would have worn in 1948. That had to be translated to Bogart for the hat store guy :laugh: But the goal, 90% achieved, was an Out of the Past Mitchum hat.
My 50th is in March. Considering a fedora for my gift of gifts.

Peering over the level-three box before today's performance at the Philadelphia Orchestra. Wagner/Berg/Ligeti/Debussy on the program. I loved the seats. I was able to rest on the balcony and look straight down.

Quote from: jochanaan on February 22, 2015, 04:17:35 PMWe were behind the orchestra. Unbalanced for sure (especially in the Berg VC), but I don't care so much about sound at a concert. I figure that I can hear something as many times as I want on a CD. It is more interesting for me to see the orchestra.

Depressingly thin audience. Ligeti :blank:
I will say that the Atmospheres seemed to intrigue the row of older folks sitting on our tier (the ones who I thought would be covering their ears for some parts -- and who also looked unhappy/bored during the Berg VC). They were enthusiastically looking over the edge (no, not contemplating jumping :P) and seemed to be enjoying it. That (happily) surprised me.

Quote from: knight66 on February 23, 2015, 09:31:08 AMThat's a big part of it, too. I played in orchestra for many years (throughout grade school and first two years of college) so I like being on the other side of the conductor. Plus, I love balconies. The 'orchestra' (floor) section is always the most boring for me (even though the sound is probably best there).

Yes, that's my real nose/ear/face etc. Between the ages of about 18 and 34 I'd an amateur career as a boxer. I still spar on occasion and over the last couple of years I've had a couple of 'White Collar' bouts - but at middleweight now rather than the welterweight I used to be.
Also, this photo was taken at work which accounts for the severe crop; I don't like to be photographed with a camera and/or colleagues.

Thanks, Dave. Actually, I was over my grandfather's house and I believe the topic at hand was Wagner's Tristan und Isolde. :) I can't say you look relaxed in your photos, but you do look like you're ready to get down to business. :)
Hi John - well, in the first pic I was 22 y/o and posing for a 'serious' photo, a future doc - kind of funny now - in the second, I was also posing for a professional photographer, so kind of a 'phony smile' for me - so also, nothing serious - :) Dave

This is almost embarrassing to post under Jessop's award because I'm sure that his was actually competitive! I posted some videos of the meet in the "GMG Barbell Club" thread.

What impertinence! I told him to stay off-camera.

Lighting changed some colours here, I think the effects are rather cool though. This is me conducting a composition of mine! The guy playing the harpsichord is off to study piano at Juilliard soon.

Got any examples of your playing online anywhere?
An arm rest on a classical guitar... Shows how little I know. ;D
I bought a classical guitar recently during a trip. It was as cheap as hell, but I made sure it intonates correctly all the way up the neck and also that it had a solid top. I'm teaching myself out of a book by a guy called Frederick Noad. It's interesting and fun.

As far as the Pumping Nylon is concerned, time and patience will always work wonders.
And I'm sure that if/when you decide to upload some of your playing that lots of us will glad to hear it.

I tend to take good care of mine, maybe because I wore glasses since a very young age. Got the polarized tortoise Ray Ban wayfarers last year for my birthday:

Karl, you look like a percussionist born!
Noticing the bass drum in the background takes me back to 1969 and the instrument I banged in the E Company band, 8th Battalion, 4th Training Brigade at Fort Knox Kentucky. It was my only gig as a percussionist. It was a powerful position. I had 200 recruits marching to my rhythm ;D

I think I was practicing a celesta passage in Gnomus on the xylophone. Some substitutions were necessary.

PS I enjoyed our trip to the Ukraine (to visit our daughter who works there). Kyiv is a beautiful city and although I heroically coped with being away from my cat and CD collection we did get to a performance of the ballet 'The Snow Queen' which I enjoyed more than expected, especially hearing Liadov's 'Baba-Yaga' live. Sorry, mustn't discuss music here.

The tone is very rich and quite a bit darker than my other guitar. The new one has a cedar top, while my other one has a spruce. Spruce usually has a brighter, clearer tone, but cedar has more resonance and "soul." Byers has found a way to minimize the loss of clarity with his design.

It's made by Greg Byers. It's lattice braced, but he uses all-wood, no carbon, so the tone is traditional, just a little louder. yes, it has a raised fingerboard.

Actually I recently discovered the clay original in the shed, amazingly still in one piece after 45 year so I asked a mould maker to make a cast in cold cast bronze (like a fibre glass resin) and I'm really pleased with the result.

You look really pretty there. So jealous you met Salonen, he's one of my all time favorite conductors (and composers). I'm not gay but I would admit a little man-crush :laugh:
He's an awesome dude, would be a wonderful person to converse with 8)
Aww thanks! And yeah...ditto, to all of that ;) A dream come true.
The main reason we went that week was for the premiere of the Cello Concerto, I wrote about that and meeting him here (http://www.good-music-guide.com/community/index.php/topic,429.msg1047559.html#msg1047559).
It really struck me how sweet and down-to-earth he was - actually blushed when I raved about his compositions, and seemed tickled we flew to Chicago just for that ;D
Seriously, attending a world premiere of a composer you love is something that should be on every new music lover's bucket list, such a special experience!
Another good one -

Yes! I'm only like 5'5" in heels for reference (and also Leila is about the same height.) It just never occurred to me, as onstage they both seem larger than life.

I didn't realize he had a new premiere, gotta look out for that Cello Concerto, I'm interested to hear it. What is it like compared to his classic Piano and Violin Concertos?
Just reading your link now, it looks like a bloody great two concerts! I think the March 9 one would kill me (in a good way). New Esa-Pekka alongside my favorite early-period Stravinsky work (Petrushka), lucky you :o
And..the concert started with Adams' Slonimsky's Earbox - so that night was pretty much aural nirvana ;)
The Cello Concerto is a big departure from anything else, but then again each of the concertos are really unique to each other. There might be a smidge of kin to the Violin Concerto, though much of the last mvmt is related to Karawane. Super atmospheric and really a trip live. I'm sure it will get a proper recording soon enough!

Yes, pretty much. We are involved in dog rescue efforts, and he was destined to be a stud dog at a puppy factory. As cool as that sounds, he would have never got out of his cage his entire life, and various other indignities which dogs shouldn't have to endure. SO we got him instead. Pleased! :)

Indeed...a great rescue, Gurn. For fifty years I've dreamed of owning one of the Scottish breeds: West Highland White, Skye Terrier, or a Scottie (black is my favorite color). Unfortunately allergies, both mine and Mrs. Rock's, put a damper on that :(

Thanks, Sarge.
Our other 2 Scotties, Colleen and Roisin (Rose in Gaelic) are also both rescues, as is our West Highland, Sam. And our Chihuahua, Paco. We had a Cairn (the 4th Scottish breed) who we rescued from a puppy mill also, when she was 9 years old and couldn't have more puppies, she was sent to a "kill shelter". We had her for 7 years, great dog, even though she didn't know anything from anything about playing or interacting with other dogs. We do love our terriers!
Scotties, Westies and Cairns, at least, are very small sources of allergens; they are NOT shed-free (take it from someone who has had them for over 30 years!), but near as dammit, nothing like a spaniel or retriever, for example. I know, because I have allergies too and they don't do a fraction of the damage to me that my old Cocker Spaniel or a cat would do. :)

:) Yep, mine's a Lazy Boy too. Believe it or not, I got that big oversize one so Paco had room to sit next to me to watch TV. Sometimes he still shares the seat with me, usually it just pisses him off to have to. :D

And I know you're not looking for a critique, but it's rare for me not to shudder at an oblique angle ('Dutch angle') in a selfie, however, as I write I am shudderless. :o That's because here you've included two elements required to even give it a chance to work, rather than simply 'I'm tilting the camera because everyone does that. lol'. A photo editor would definitely approve. Good stuff.
Also, your hat is cool. 8)

There's a way to do it on my phone (it's Android, and you can tinker with photos in the Gallery app).
But I did this in Paint, which has a Rotate button on the tool ribbon (there is even a Rotate 180° option, for one-click fixin').

I mentioned on another thread that my daughter was getting married and received some kind good wishes. The weather was appalling but we still had a great time. Here, with her permission, is a photo of the bride with her proud father:

Thank you all for the kind comments :)
PD there were 12 people in attendance, including bride and groom, myself and wife, my wife's parents, Two friends of my daughter's and two of her new husband (with partners, one doing the video link to Canada (groom's parents and siblings) and many others following on Zoom). Also, there was sign-language interpreter as my daughter's close friend is deaf. A larger celebration, when my son-in-law's family from Canada can attend, is planned for the future.

I'm so sorry that his Canadian parents and siblings couldn't come, but pleased to hear that you made the best of it! Very pretty bridal dress (love the pop of red in the shoes), etc.
Looks like she was going a bit of old school glam in her outfit (rather 60's Jackie K but updated?).

I had a Plant Burger - it was very nice. My wife, daughter and son-in-law are all vegan and so am I, more or less, by default. At the school where I work I get a secret non-vegan lunch if I want it a couple of days a week. The pub kitchen had broken down due to an electric fault and by the time it was fixed it was mid-afternoon, so I did not want a meal in the evening. Some of my daughter's friends who we could not invite to the ceremony came to the evening pub and eat there.

Quote from: Pohjolas Daughter on May 24, 2021, 09:55:48 AMOf course, we haven't eaten out (until now) for a long time. There are lots of pubs in our area (rural East Sussex) which serve good food including vegetarian/vegan options. There is much more awareness of this now. Sometimes, however, the pubs will only have one vegan option (more vegetarian usually). If I wasn't surrounded by vegetarians and vegans (apart from the cat, who consumes anything) I'd probably eat Sausage, egg and chips, however, my mostly vegetarian diet is probably healthier. The cat likes porridge by the way - if I put my bowl down for a moment his head is stuck in it!

No PD - that's the partner of one of her friends. I tried to post a nice photo that I took of the two of them in the pub but it was too big to post. I'll have another go in a minute.
OK - here goes:

Coming in late Jeffrey - but congrats! :) And thanks for sharing all of the lovely photos - Dave

Indeed.
Me as of yesterday (self portrait with cellphone):
Unfortunate with the cutoff but I actually have hair. ;)
I must confess that you look better in your avatar. >:D :P

Oh, my! I was sure the avatar was taken some time ago, but 20 years!...
Now seriously, your current self gives me the impression of a composed and wise gentleman. The avatar gives me the impression of a jovial and debonnaire gentleman. I guess you are both.

We've got them coming here to stay tomorrow. My wife has given me 1000 tasks to prepare for the Grand Visit! Still, I shall be watching the Champions League Final tonight (supporting Chelsea, of course).

I hate to follow such a lovely picture with something with me in it, but here we are:
https://abergavennysymph.org.uk/recordings/2021-autumn-concert/ (https://abergavennysymph.org.uk/recordings/2021-autumn-concert/)
Not suggesting it should all be listened to, and for most of it I am out of sight behind a pillar, but between 1:09 and 1:10 the camera angle changes without warning to reveal the percussion section in all its glory. Then shortly after 1:12 I begin a battle with my no.2 to stop her coming in way too early (the time signature has changed from 2 to 4, but she never takes this into account). For much of this section I'm gripping her tight by the wrist, but she escapes and comes in several bars early anyway. Then between 1:13 and 1:14 I'm desperately waving at our conductor not to start the finale until we're ready, but he doesn't see me (he does apologise afterwards). I never do find my music and play the finale from memory. One day I'll look back at this and laugh; for the moment it's head in hands stuff.
Edit: Don't know if my browser was playing games, but on my previous login the latest pictures in the thread were of Jeffrey's daughter's wedding, hence my opening comment. Lovely as you are, Karl.

Good program, Dave, and fun to watch you semaphoring your signals of distress to the conductor. :D
