Dave, yes, I have tried that several times without success.

Mike

Even after cropping it down to size (which I think is 100x100 or something close to that)? I would love to see your photos do the rounds in the avatar space. :)

I've decided to change my avatar from a composer to my next favorite pastime, chess.

My moniker, 'Brahmsian', says what I like already, I do not need a photo of Brahms on top of that to emphasize.


Or a photo of Mussorgsky, for that matter.   :D

Hi, Annie. Kimi's story is beautiful and full of emotion. You can read about Kimi here:

http://www.good-music-guide.com/community/index.php/topic,7521.0.html

Thank you Antoine Marchand. I have just read Paul's wonderful story. I hope little Kimi is doing OK now.

Quote from: Antoine Marchand on June 09, 2010, 12:08:36 PMMaybe it would be interesting to tell the origin of our nicknames (mine is almost a joke); although it should already exist a thread about that. For example, every time when I see name "sospiro", it produces a refreshing effect on me, probably stressed for your signature, which being a diminutive sounds kind, homey.


That is so nice. Thank you!

Annie

Bantock :) Rimsky was a good guess, the two do look alike.

Spot on  :D Yes, Sir Granville and Rimsky did look alike.

But now I have a new Avatar again - one of my favourite composers. Who is it? (no cheating).

Nice!

Man, I was just reading old conversations among the BSE's this afternoon, during a search of the forum archives. :)

The impression I get from the avatar and caption, in a word, creepy.   :P

Really?  Don't mean to come across that way.  I'm just a big fan.

"Will you marry me Hilary Hahn"  I.e., the most important thing for us to know about you is that you want to have sex with Hilary Hahn.  Too much information.

I don't read it that way. Just puppy love, or something...

Oh, hornteacher is 13 years old, doesn't know what marriage is, hasn't learned about the birds and the bees yet?  Then I retract my remarks.

He's not saying ***k me, Hillary. Just wistfully casting his gaze in her direction. Sheesh, already...where's the romantic in you?

All well and good, though one has to admit it becomes less cute coming from someone who has already graduated from highschool.  ;)

That's what I figured.  Surprised that anyone would have thought otherwise, ... not that it matters.

I have it on good authority (but in all seriousness I probably can't reveal my source) that HH's managers have had to prepare a special thick protocol covering, essentially, 'what to do when Hilary's fans get too keen'   :D
