Quiz #21: Lost In The Post
1) The envelope containing the results for this week’s quiz was delayed by a rather spectacular but still plausible series of events involving a tiger, a pair of galoshes and three pieces of old Canadian cheddar.
2) Miss Mussel stayed up til 7am Sunday morning making a website and hasn’t really been able to string more [...]
Quiz #21
Question: Why does the cat, having the entire apartment in which to find a bed, insist on laying right on top of the newsletter proofs Miss Mussel spent the weekend so carefully annotating?

Quiz #6 Pencils Down Everyone
Congratulations to Roberto Corsi who was first in with Anton Bruckner’s Mass No.1 in D minor, first performed in 1864.
The whole piece won’t be posted in the sidebar this time because it’s enormous (read: bandwidth monster) but the Kyrie and Sanctus will be up for your future listening pleasure.

Review: Jugendsängerfest
A review of the Grand Philharmonic Youth Choir/ Jugendsangerfest concert on Saturday evening. In the printed version, the sub rather humerously translated “r’s” as “aaar’s”.
