| Was anyone in my speech class last year? I don't think so...Anyway, I gave a speech about Niccolo Paganini, and i have come to the conclusion that if someone were to be him for Halloween, they would be really scary. Many people thought he was possessed by the devil, because he could play the violin so well. There were also several nasty rumors, such as the one where he apparently murdered his mistress and used her guts to make a g-string (on the violin, not the underwear, or what they call underwear, but it's really so scanty that it doesn't count). Then, he had a cough or something and so he went to the doctor, and the doctor was like, oh everyone knows that the famous Paganini is very promiscuous (which he wasn't), he probably has syphillis! so he prescribes mercury, and when paganini starts dying from mercury poisoning, the doctor's like, oh the syphillis is getting worse! so he then prescribes him opium. then paganini dies. Yeah. Anyway, word has it that paganini could touch his thumb to his little finger, behind the back of his hand. amazing huh? that's why there are peices that he wrote, that to this day, no one has been able to play but him.
So what should I be for Halloween? Give me advice, I'm clueless! | | |
| Edward Elgar's cello concerto. He's English, not Russian. why did you think it was Russian?

| Really, really, very much looking forward to the spring break orchestra trip. Is this song oppressive? Once you get to the melody it's beautiful.

| I'm not sure how to put youtubes on here...but anyway, go check out "Pigloo-Le Ragga des Pingouins!" and "Le Papa Pingouin".

Come hither to exchange 'fore there is
no sand to find common. Thou remember’st since once I sat upon a
promontory, and heard a mermaid on a dolphin’s back uttering such
dulcet and harmonious breath, that the rude sea grew civil at her song,
and certain stars shot madly from their spheres to hear music bowed by
we trouveres. Isn't that pretty? I don't know where it's from, Mr. Green had it on a renaissance email.
Speaking of emails, I was just doing my email, sent out two, and got responses for them five seconds later. Both Rachel and Mr. Green were doing email at the same time I was! How cool is that!
