I couldn't reconcile the fact that one of our present GCE music students is a fan of thrash metal but has a penchant for playing Debussy! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

I wrote him a short piano piece that employed elements of both, based on the notes of his name. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piano.gif)

I still don't understand it though - onomatopoeic that it surely is, I necessarily had to look up the meaning of 'thrash'. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rocker.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/argh.gif)


I regularly get funny looks for this too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blush.gif) I tend to get referred to as the stereotypical "metal-head" of my little group (I don't know why-most of my friends are partial to a bit of thrash too!) but my music teacher is frequently shocked when she sees me playing pretty little classical pieces! I do think that classical music and metal can be very similar though

Always nice to see someone who loves a good mix of Metal and Classical

For those who know their BWV numbers, the number of my posts has recently entered the magical range of organ works. This one is shortly to leave the Organ Trio Sonatas behind (BWV 525 - 530) and embark on a journey through his Preludes and Fugues (BWV 531 +).
I mis-read that as "BMW numbers"...(IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)

Seems appropriate considering you can buy a BMW 525i or 530i (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Why can't we toilet-train horses? I mean we can train them to do show jumping and what have you, right? I was in the City this morning walking behind a few police horses and had to avoid all the droppings! (It was a narrow street.) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

In Bruges, I noticed that the ones with carriages had bags by their rear ends to catch all the waste... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) Maybe that idea should be adapted!

I don't get the idea that treading in poo is supposed to be good luck... Surely good luck would mean that you kept your shoes clean! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Last time I was at the seaside, some donkeys were wearing 'nappies' to contain their ordure.

Oh my God... I've been laughing out loud for the last 5 minutes.

I don't think it is a subject to joke about.

Of course it isn't.
