Teehee I did that with the lone I yesterday, Matty! No sooner did I ask I found it.

And it was an obvious one today - I'm glad no-one was around to answer. If no-one answered, it didn't happen :)

I have 16 left - at least I have one of the 7s. I may well list soon; I may wait until I've showered

I'm pretty much entering random letters now

3:35 am

Only just started myself. Although I am pleased the way it is going so far. Found all the T & N & E on the top row straight away. Now onto the C

I still have 2 of the Es on the top row, two of the Ts in the top row and one of the Ns to find. I have all the Cs though

3:36 am

Then it must be the number or a plural you need for the top N

I have the number. I also have five plural Ns (thouhg two of them are from the other N)

3:38 am

You have the Ni 5 & 6?

Damn. I was missing the not plural of the plural, if you see what I mean. Thanks!

7:09 pm

hey. hey, hey godthaab, my nickname in college was parallel fifths!

7:12 pm

did they call you para for short?...;o)

7:15 pm

Very cool~! Why?

7:16 pm

evening all

7:19 pm

was addressing aeb and her nickname...

7:19 pm

hi dan...

7:22 pm

Yes, I wanted to know why they called her Parallel Fifths. Bad in Theory class?

7:26 pm

No very good in Theory class! I helped grade papers and I helped my fellow students find their parallel fifths on their homework papers before they handed them in.

7:29 pm

Ah! I could have used you. I was always in parallel fifth hell. Many years later, when I actually started teaching university level theory, I found a great way to avoid them altogether!

7:31 pm

Counterpoint always helps!

7:32 pm

Oh, yes!

7:32 pm

Where did You go to school?

7:33 pm

Were you a Theory and Composition major?

7:34 pm

University of Toronto. I also audited at Michigan State. Education Major, Composition Minor. Now I do a lot of composing for film soundtracks. You?

7:39 pm

Baldwin-Wallace University and Cleveland State University in Cleveland, Ohio!.I had two majors.....Voice and Theory/composition and 4 minors)piano, harp, German and French.

7:41 pm

Very impressive! I majored on sax, (clar. flute) and English / Philosophy as my non majors.

7:45 pm

WOW.....one does not find Theory /composition enthusiasts out there very often. I couldn't take up the Sax, because at that time we were having too much trouble wit Sax and Violins in the Public Schools!(LOL)

7:45 pm

hahhaha

7:45 pm

Do you have soundcloud stuff?

7:46 pm

No....what is that?( I am an oldie, but a goodie)!

7:48 pm

It is a site where you can post your original music; mostly for people who write their own music.

7:49 pm

I'll have to look that up......are you on it?

7:50 pm

Right now, besides composing, I am heavily into instrumental and choral arranging.

7:51 pm

Yes. R7SHARP11

7:53 pm

I am working on a major compostion that has taken me the better part of a year to put together. It is re-orchestrated music from a Holocaust survivor that has not really been heard since 1946. Big World Premiere in May.

7:54 pm

Ooooh where will be premiered? I have a Holocaust collection of songs.

It will be premiered at Jewish Music Festival in Toronto in May 2017. The guy who wrote the original music is the cousin of Wladyslaw Szpilman, who was the protagonist in "The Pianist", quite a famous movie circa 2003.

7:58 pm

Yes....I loved that movie!

8:02 pm

Thank you for sharing so much with me godthaab! Keep up the good work!

8:02 pm

If you send me an e-mail, I can keep you in the loop about the music. r7sharp11@gmail.com Let me know it's you - the secret code answer to: what is an italian sixth in Gb minor?

10:47 pm

same here.. the creek behind my house is roaring

10:48 pm

I've had to drive a lot in the rains and it's really draining and exhausting

10:50 pm

It is. it took me 2 hours to get home on Wednesday. It is only 19 miles.

10:50 pm

Hope the creek behaves itself.

10:50 pm

yikes.. I hear that.. 3.5 hours to get home from SF the other day

10:51 pm

Blech!

10:51 pm

it was awful

10:52 pm

10:53 pm

10:53 pm

:D

10:55 pm

10:55 pm

No, alas, 40 left to go.

I should brush up on my languages

10:58 pm

10:59 pm

Yes, probably rosetta stone.

10:59 pm

Spanish, French, and modest amount of greek

10:59 pm

I have a friend that speak 7 languages fluently.. it's so impressive.

11:00 pm

Ah. Greek. That's the language I was going to start with. Although, I should brush up on Spanish.

11:00 pm

speaks

11:00 pm

greek. .really why that one?

11:00 pm

Impressive. I speak treason fluently.

11:01 pm

I was fluent in greek as a little kid.. I didn't speak English as a toddler

11:01 pm

My mother's partners were both Greek. I grew up listening to Greek. It is such a beautiful language.

11:02 pm

yes.. that's true..

11:02 pm

I should go there someday.. I had a lot of relatives there. I guess

11:02 pm

law partners, actually. Lest you think I grew up in a very strange family.

11:03 pm

well.. two greek lovers in one family wouldn't have surprised me at all :D

11:03 pm

If you knew my mother, that wouldn't be a surprise at all :-)

11:05 pm

ha!

11:06 pm

for all my talk.. i'm really a monogamous guy

11:07 pm

She was really a trip!

11:07 pm

she sounds like it

11:08 pm

Of course are ru. You are a good man.

11:09 pm

I try to be..

11:10 pm

You would have liked her. Or hated her. There was no in-between. I think you would have liked her a lot.

11:10 pm

I like characters.. she sounds like she was one

11:11 pm

Yep. I should write a collection of short stories based on her. I see a new career on the horizon.

11:13 pm

yeah.. I guess I have a book on my childhood too.. but I won't be writing one

11:17 pm

Yeah.

11:18 pm

11:32 pm

Too many left here and chores are calling. Happy Babbling.

11:32 pm

good night ori..

11:33 pm

I've been enjoying you guys chat, Ru, but it's bedtime here. I'd like stories of your childhood. Some day I'll send stuff about Babble when Rasta comew throyugh with your email. Tmr many friends are in Washingron--we'll haver a big rally here in Spfl;d Illinois

11:34 pm

I'veknown ni 5 and 6 since childhood.

11:34 pm

I had a rough childhood roundbarn.. not nice stories

11:36 pm

rallies for this country right now are a good thing

11:37 pm

if I ever get to California, your area, I'd like to meet you. Megan is in Aptos. Gillian's s of Carson City. So I seldom see those two. i notice people come and go on Babble. (But I have other things to write.)

11:38 pm

Aptos is a ways a way from me to be honest

11:40 pm

Yes, there are ralluies all over the country. I just published a good poem about zeus--but won't copy it here. Comparing him without actually saying it--an innocent lewd poem. Il Times printed it in my usual slot.

11:41 pm

a lot of people I know are marching. these are turbulent times.. and America is fractured

11:41 pm

Yes, I know you're not near. Goodnight. My friend Dick Durbin will probably be at the Old State Capitol with us all, tomorrow. Big rally. Ddid I say goodnight? I do noww.
