Naw, Kit Marlowe :wink: Huh, I was thinking Tom Cruise had surely been Francis Bacon. That would be an interesting thread: Shakespeare v. Marlowe v. Bacon Good point on the tendency for famous past lives. Why then did all the knowledge simply fade for the present life? Shouldn't Tom being composing...

Naw, Kit Marlowe

I had viewed my concern on just this issue in another thread, but an aside: We were discussing this at dinner a few days ago and how troubling it is for the country. I voiced my usual anger, but my husband said, "Let them take over. I hope they do!". Of course I was shocked and asked him i...

Please don't stop Walden. I certainly get what you mean, but you're invaluable. There's a huge percentage of regular chiffers who avoid these things altogether. Wish I was one of them. My New Year's Resolution (the New Year starting August 21, 2005) is to get sucked into these things less and to le...

Too fast for me, Peter!

I know it's not the traditional realm of the tin whistle, but I am looking for a particular song from around the Civil War (American Civil War, that is). I can't even remember any of the tune or it name (obviously). It's used a lot in Civil War documentaries and is a particularly sad song, usually ...

Tulane has it as well as U of Tennessee, Stanford and Notre Dame. If you do a search, you may find more. Curtis Clar...

It's not "ITM" so don't get the panties in wad. . . I'm looking for dots for the early composer Perotin, from the "Magnus Liber Organi." I've tried googling and some other resources without much avail. Is anyone else into early music around here? Which part of the "Magnus&q...
