I always wished I could play the piano...apparently it's simple and "anything goes".

Congratulations!

You’re a winner.

 

[Camino Chrissy]

Me oblivious...and I was too busy taking piano lessons.
I think I won the 800th post too, but I received no gifts so I'm not sure.

How about this short piece?

 

[Rick of Rick and Peg]

And after your warm up, how about a little Liszt?

I don't know how to read notes in Chinese...I'm not that advanced yet.

Yes, that little number should perk "up" a gal who is usually "down". If not, this should help...

I think the right notes will be played....just not necessarily in the right order.

I learned to play both the right notes...and the left notes.

I marched to different lyrics. When the drill instructor wasn't around.

In other news, Peg enjoys movies like Paradise where things don't go as you expect.

I love Birdbox! I mostly have experienced birds pooping on my car after washing it.
I especially liked the cartoon after of the dog in the pub...so true! They love stealing food if you turn your back on them...I've witnessed an "empty" plate a few times myself and I wasn't the one who devoured the food.

Unfortunately none of them have vertigo. If they did, everyone would be begging for a TOP bunk...the hoary haired folks still want the bottom, even if they get bit up by the bugs.

Coming back home from our first trip to Spain and Portugal I boarded the plane with a sword and I got off the plane back home still a free man (and with the sword).

It was Alfonso X's sword. It has his name on it. He must have had a lot of swords as the street vendor was selling them for about $10 apiece.

As with all powerful and magic swords it has a name, Alfonsox.

Yep.

I've never worked out why the word "dash" has so many dots in it.

Does the 'Morse Code' at the beginning of the theme from Inspector Morse actually spell anything?

Yes, the music does spell the word, "Morse" in Morse code. It is repeated several times throughout the theme, both at the beginning and at the end. It is cleverly done.

 

[Camino Chrissy]

I tap Morse code on this RED instrument...and it doesn't even need to be plugged in.

 

[Bristle Boy]

A few years ago there was a series called "Morse" from the books of Colin Dexter.
His Christian name was never divulged and it was pure speculation and created a lot of interest.
Eventually, it was divulged by someone who read Morse code as his Christian name was hidden in code in the theme tune.

Just to make it easier...

They have been sending old detective series in Danish TV for the last year or so, among them Inspector Morse. I have only seen a few; I find them quite boring and predictable. I mean, someone kills somebody and then someone tries to find out why, how and who – it’s much like the plot in classic operas: A soprano and a baritone are in love and want to get married and a bass tries to prevent the marriage because the soprano is unworthy of the baritone or vice versa. A mezzosoprano helps the lovers fool the bass and so they are secretly married and everybody lives happily ever after and the curtain drops

Sounds just like the American "Columbo" detective series, and many others...I have enjoyed a few of them anyway. Sometimes you just appreciate the lead character's role and acting ability.
