Oh, and the Dutch. Nothing but gentlemen. [Well, they must have women too.]

And the Texans...

Well..

Don't run away yet, they haven't lifted up their skirts...  :o

I have a Scottish innernetz-friend name of Willie. Shocker, that. Anyway, he's a fine fellow. Makes me laugh my ass off.

Well, that's OK, I am a Scot. Tell you what...I will send those very small body parts back toyou in a jiffy bag. Can't say fairer than that.

When I had brunch with him last month, he was wondering if anyone would notice! ;D

(He'll be back at some point.)

Veit Bach-a baker who found his greatest pleasure in a little cittern which he took with him even into the mill and played while the grinding was going on. In this way he had a chance to have the rhythm drilled into him. And this was the beginning of a musical inclination in his descendants. JS Bach

What happened to Fl. traverso alias Masolino?
He has not been active for the last four months.
I have to admit, that I miss him.  :(

I am very sorry that Colin no longer posts here - I have most certainly noticed  :-[ I tried to PM him but his message box was full. If you are in contact with him please do let him know that I do miss his contributions here. I can't be expected to be the only one here directing all your attention to 'sadly and undeservedly neglected composers' can I ?  ;D

Of course you don't have to do that my friend, I will help you, in fact I have so many unknown composers of which you never heard, it would make you very sad indeed, let me just take one of them.....such beautiful forgotten music. ;D

Yes, indeed - I have you to thank for Alan Bush's great Symphony No 2 and the Raff set looks very tempting - I love the Lenore, especially the last movement - in fact I must play it later today.  :)

Yes I miss him as well, he seemed to have a thorough knowledge of Norway, even having visited my father's birthplace at Bleik, in the desolate north..

I have visited a number of Norwegian cities but would love to visit Hammerfest one of these days.
