If you changed delivery adress for all your purchases to my adress, with time you'd surely stop, no hurry though. Just PM me and we could set up an arrangement. It's not as if you manage to listen to them anyway.

MI, it appears you've stumbled on the very Prokofiev quote I've had for my signature for ages, now!

Good quote! ;D


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

You know what they say: great minds think alike! Should I remove it? This is your signature after all.

Max Raabe & Palast Orchester: Heute Nacht Oder Nie (Live in Berlin, DVD) - Heard these guys a few weeks ago, and loved them. Raabe sings German and American songs from the 1920s and 1930s, with a beautiful baritone that could be the soundtrack for an old cartoon. But beyond that, he's funny. And his band - about 12 musicians - is just fantastic.

Nah, keep it. You post far more than I do anyway so spreading a great Prokofiev quote can never be a bad thing!

This is your signature. I just went back to my old quote, but it's still one that I like.

Cool. Maybe there's another great Prokofiev quote out there waiting to be "signaturefied"?

Yes he is a very great artist, I met him some years ago at a performance in Hamburg. He is a lot of fun too to talk with.

Very cool! I can imagine he would be hilarious. What was your favorite question/answer or comment?

Well he is really eccentric in a friendly but snobbish way, so I asked him how people normally react to him in person, and he said, "Well they think I am from another planet, and really I know that is absolutely true! I am a person that lives in a different time. In his real life he lives the twenties, the Berlin life before the second WW, when Berlin was a melting pot of international cultures and lifestyles, its fascinating.

Thanks, very funny. He IS from another planet - or at least, from another time.

This lists 60 sets completed or underway.

Some of these are not - and will never become - complete.

A quick estimate is that there are about 44 sets, which can be called reasonably complete or which will be completed within the foreseeable future.

Of these 45 sets I own 34.
Reality trumps our fantasy far beyond imagination.

Quote from: Opus106 on March 15, 2012, 12:53:31 AMWell, at least you stood up like a man and took the CDCDCD in your chin (or wherever it affects a person).

Is the chin the buying organ? So THAT's what it's for!

As a last ditch remedy, one could always have a chin-ectomy.
