I made a last minute decision to go back to school, and late admission is very time consuming. It's also very strange when I'm old enough to be most of my fellow students' mother.
Now I need to think of another question to narrow the search for your place. Maybe yugirules14 is onto to something -- the type of music.
Would the music of the musician be best described as "classical"?
Rap-a-rap-a-rap
They call him the rapper
Rap, rap, rap you know what he's after.
Perhaps, Yugi, but I wouldn't know about that. As I told my black friend here, Winton Marsalis said that rap was modern day minstrel, and the young man knew nothing of jazz. Tsk, tsk
i don't completely understand this game. can some one explain. or go for me and i'll watch.
First, a note to Tico. Combination, dear.
To yugi: What we do is to find a place and then post the picture. The contributors then attempt a guess as to where it is, and the significance of the place. If they identify correctly, then it is their turn.
And oftentimes, yugi, the poster uses very clever clues to guide us.
I'm thinking jazz & classical often go together.
Is this the childhood home of the musician?
Yes, Tico. Did someone clue you in?
that sounds cool. i'll give it a shot later.awe stawe lawe bye-bye. (see ya)
George Gershwin's birthplace!
George Gershwin
26 September, 1898 - 11 July, 1937
George Gershwin was born in Brooklyn, New York, September 26, 1898. He began his musical training at thirteen. At fifteen he left high school to work as a pianist and song-plugger for musical publishers. He was soon writing songs. "Swanee", introduced by Al Jolson, brought Gershwin his first real fame. But it was George and his older brother, Ira, who became the dominant Broadway songwriters to emerge during the 20s, creating a ceaseless flow of brisk, infectious rhythms and affectingly poignant ballads. Working together they fashioned the words to fit melodies with a "glove-like" fidelity. This extraordinary collaboration led to a succession of 22 musical comedies, among them Lady Be Good (1924), Oh, Kay! (1926), Funny Face (1927), Strike Up the Band (1927 & 1930), Girl Crazy (1930) and Of Thee I Sing (1931) - the first musical comedy to win a Pulitzer Prize.
(This had the exact photo that Letty posted.)
Ah, Tico. A witch told you. <smile>. Your turn.
It's that time of the year. Where am I?
Note to Miss Letty - John Hersey seems to be buried in Abel's Hill Cemetery, Martha's Vineyard, Mass.
The tombs there aren't worth the pictures..
Well, I must go, and I won't be back until tomorrow morning. So if someone wants, please post a photo.
"In the oldest part of Ottawa, just East of the Chateau Laurier and the National Gallery of Canada, is a farmers' market with incredibly delicious fruit and vegetables. Or if you prefer, you can buy flowers of every description."
Thank you, Francis. John Hersey was born in China and died in Key West, Florida, so I assumed that he would be buried there. As I said, google doesn't have a lot of information about him.
Europe indeed, Miss Letty.
