Nobel prize winners (according to Claude, so double check):

Science

  • Ahmed Zewail (Egypt, 1999): Chemistry, for pioneering femtochemistry.
  • Aziz Sancar (Turkey, 2015): Chemistry. He’s Turkish rather than Arab, so he’s often mentioned in this context but isn’t Arab by ethnicity.
  • Elias James Corey (US, 1990): Chemistry. He’s of Lebanese descent but American-born.
  • Peter Medawar (UK, 1960): Medicine. He was born in Brazil to a Lebanese father.

The "P" really stands for "Projection", doesn't it?

I had to ask Google AI for the name:

The Armenian 10-beat rhythm (3+2+2+3) is commonly known as Curcuna (also spelled Jurjuna or Chourjouna

Check out Rembetiko / Rebbetika: it's a whole genre where every other song is 2223.

Didn't the Berlin Philharmonic (at least under Von Karajan) *always* double the winds?

12/8 Sicilian time. (Every "Siciliana" is in 12/8),

9/8 or 9/4 counted as 3+3+3: Sarabande time.

9=3+2+2+2 no idea

9=2+3+2+2 no idea

9=2+2+3+2 Tamzara time

9=2+2+2+3 Rembetiko time. These last two after popular Greek/Armenian dances.

Tourist shop crap? It would be helpful if you posted a close-up of the mouth piece. Right now I can't even see what the blowing technique is.

  1. Don't mention the minimum wage. 2. Immigrant/Trans scare mongering.

Just guessing. That's what it is in TX.

Youtube sent me a good one yesterday of a "mother and republican" explaining why she couldn't get behind Ken Paxton. That was an excellent production: just an everyday woman calmly explaining.

Ocarina. Did you know that there is a Chinese ocarina-like instrument, the Xun?

You'd have to see the curriculum in detail.

Elaborate?

I wonder if low-income households are going to jump on this. Last time I looked this sort of equipment would still take years to pay for itself.

That said, any encouragement is good.

If you can find the strings.

But that turns it into a different instrument. And you can't play Tony Levin / Trey Gunn lines anymore.

I had one for a while, and then sold it again.

You need two-hand independence, which you can learn.

Biggest problem is that the bass half is tuned in fifths, so nothing from your current repertoire translates to the Stick (TM, are Emmett's heirs as litigious as he was?). You have to reinvent your bass playing.

You should also look into "live coding" where people code music as it plays. You could get inspiration for what sort of stuff to generate for lilypond.

I'll watch your video.

One time I was playing some studies for flute and I thought "this is so systematic, I could code this". So I wrote some python that output Lilypond. The results are here:

The "tricky fingerings" is popular with teachers because I coded some concept of what would be particularly tricky to play.

They have awesome classic car events. Some people really shine their mobiles.

While they did make the Exploiter, did never made a Flying V body, right?
Not that they wouldn't if you paid enough....

I make a note of which stylist I'm happy with and ask for them specifically. Otherwise it can be hit and miss.

Birds on Burnet for me.
