Yes but on the other hand, unlike Bacharach, Debussy hasn't appeared in an Austin Powers film.

Yes, but he did appear in "The Love Guru" ...

Sibelius did, though...

There's a great Karsh photo of Dr Evil Sibelius on display at the MFA now . . .

That looks like a fantastic exhibition, Karl. I'll have to make a visit before it's gone.

That was Berlioz, not Debussy.

That's a silly comparison, since neither of them played the guitar.
;D Genius!

No, I thought it was Paganini. Or Tarrega.

It was Berlioz; he referred to the guitar as 'a miniature orchestra'

I prefer Michel Legrand to BB.
"Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm" (Churchill).

'The test of a work of art is, in the end, our affection for it, not our ability to explain why it is good' (Stanley Kubrick).

You can't. Bebussy is the only alternative.
