Re: never-ending gallery
...i will need to calculate the kb size more precisely. fortunately i am quite competent in the world of data and technology, so adjusting to new software limitations should not be an insurmountable challenge....

Re: never-ending gallery
... is there such a thing as a part-time introvert, i wonder!... Yes, indeed, there is: an ambivert. P.S. I am glad that you are no longer lonely, and that you have the friends and the popularity that you value and desire. It is always nice when a person can live as they wish, whatever or however t...

Re: never-ending gallery
… being with friends takes up the lion's share of most days. it is difficult to say no when they ask for company. in any case, reading books (not to mention writing them) is generally for introverts, people with few contacts. it is a pleasurable but lonely pastime - also time consuming. i think thi...

Re: Songs for Suzanne Feb 5 Melbourne
[paraphrased, in duplicate, what was written by another person 2 years ago] I am curious: why do you make posts like this? What is the point of resurrecting old threads simply to paraphrase something that somebody else wrote, often many years ago (this particular example is one of the more recent t...

Re: never-ending gallery
... 'fantastique' coming through the speakers. the symphony was not too bad, but as is often the case, especially with classical music, maybe needs repeated listening before one can appreciate it properly. i also read about it on wikipedia... That's nice that you listened to the Symphonie Fantastiq...

Re: One Very Underrated Song from Every Leonard Cohen Album
Well, these types of lists must be 'flavour of the month' :) If I remember rightly, at least one of the songs mentioned is a certain forum member's album favourite ;-) Oh, yay, another list! Not sure if I am the forum member you are thinking of, but I resemble that remark regarding Ballad of the Ab...

Re: never-ending gallery
... if i stopped a million random people in the street and asked them what they knew about berlioz's 'march to the scaffold' i would be astounded if even a single one of them could supply any info... it would not surprise me if you also had knowledge of shelley's 'tanyrallt assailant', as it is cal...

Re: never-ending gallery
...of berlioz's life and work know next to nothing... Berlioz was quite a character! A good place to start in his music is his "Symphonie Fantastique" -- it is one of his most famous pieces, which is very enjoyable, and comes complete with its own semi-autobiographical story! It is an ins...

Re: never-ending gallery
...as for shelley, he too had a guitar. never played it though, simply gave it to an appreciative girlfriend. we will never know for sure, but part of paganini's ' allegro maestoso ' (1st concerto) could possibly have inspired leonard cohen to write a couple of sentences in one of his novels... in ...

Re: never-ending gallery
...paganini... I have undoubtedly mentioned this before in coversations about Paganini, but I shall mention it again, because I think that it is interesting: in addition to being a virtuouso violinist and writing a lot of violin music, for which he is most famous, Paganini was also an exceptional c...

Re: Buffy Sainte-Marie
It was not a brush off. Yes, there are multiple issues here. One of which is how indigenous people accept new members as full members with full rights and privileges. I hope you can see the options with which others are more open to accepting new family members. The Massachusetts Historical Society...

Re: Buffy Sainte-Marie

I suppose that it is also very important to remember that, from the beginning of Buffy's career, she told everyone that she was Indigenous -- complete with a personal history that was entirely fabricated -- and th...
