John S. Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 That's what I love about musical talent - you can never tell a person's talent just by looking at them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDR Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 He was here in Victoria a couple of years ago and I was able to spend quite a bit of time with him, when he did a music workshop. Nice guy. He wrote the music for one of my favourite Christmas songs called "Mary Did You Know". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specs Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 So it's a tie between JO and Kip. Stephen Foster was the composer of the first tune - Old Susannah. And speaking of composers When Mozart passed away, he was buried in a churchyard. A couple of days later, the town drunk was walking through the cemetery and heard some strange noise coming from the area where Mozart was buried. Terrified, the drunk ran and got the priest to come and listen to it. The priest bent close to the grave and heard some faint, unrecognizable music coming from the grave. Frightened, the priest ran and got the town magistrate. When the magistrate arrived, he bent his ear to the grave, listened for a moment, and said, "Ah, yes, that's Mozart's Ninth Symphony, being played backwards." He listened a while longer, and said, "There's the Eighth Symphony, and it's backwards, too. Most puzzling." So the magistrate kept listening; "There's the Seventh... the Sixth... the Fifth..." Suddenly the realization of what was happening dawned on the magistrate; he stood up and announced to the crowd that had gathered in the cemetery, "My fellow citizens, there's nothing to worry about. It's just Mozart decomposing." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
