1. I learned a little bit about "12-tone" music.

2. John Cage composed about four minutes of "nothing."

3. Be-Bop originated before Swing.

dyad, I'm so musically-impaired I don't even know how scales work. It's ironic because there are many musicians in my life, but I've never sought to learn. Your knowledge sounds very impressive!

1. My father used to drive me around our first property on a snowmobile in the winter.

2. My father used to say he wouldn't die until I wrote a book.

3. My father hated the colour blue, and I can't think of a single blue item from our house.

Your words are kind. I am good with theory but just cannot play competently with other people. I'm a slow, deliberate composer who researches and overthinks.

I'm going to say 3 and that your father loved the color blue and had it everywhere.

Nope, 1 is true. We used to have a lot of snow in that area even though it wasn't "extremely northerly". Now, it would be impossible because there isn't that much snow. It must be a climate change issue?

3 is also true. My father had blue eyes so his mother always dressed him in blue as a child, and he learned to hate / reject it. Nothing was blue in our house, ever. He liked soft green and red, or lots of gold and cream tones.

My lie is #2. It was my maternal grandmother who said she wouldn't die until I wrote a book about our family. Ooops!

I'm making up for lost time by sharing far too many stories on here. I hope that counts.

#3 is correct. Swing started around 1930, or a little before. Be-Bop about 1942 or so.

Nope, number 2. I'm a brunette but my mom and my brothers and sister are all blondes. :)

4 minutes and 33 seconds to be precise. If I'm not mistaken, it was even copyrighted! lol

What does 'schmuck' mean? I hear that word a lot on TV shows and movies set in New York. :)
