sounded like because there are no known descendants.

Taco Bell Cannon, Beethoven’s Erotica, Tchaikovsky Cracknutter Suite,
and Gershwin’s Rap City in Blue.😱😁😁😁
– Music sung by two people at the same time is called a duel; if they sing
without music it is called Acapulco.
– A virtuoso is a musician with real high morals.
– Contralto is a low sort of music that only ladies sing.
– Probably the most marvelous fugue was the one between
the Hatfields and the McCoys.

Thursday’s Movie Trivia of the day! What movie is this quote from??? “
“Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.”

Friday’s Quizzler is…….
Many fears disappear when we become adults, but some fears are never outgrown. Five friends recently discovered that they were all, to some extent, afraid of the dark. None sleep in total darkness; each prefer to have a different light on all night. With further discussion, each also admitted that he or she performs a different nightly routine before retiring. Can you discover each person’s full name, the light he or she keeps on at night, and each person’s habitual practice before bedtime?
Friends: Donald, Gretchen, John, Dawn, Stephanie
Last names: Upgraff, Foster, Weatherton, Buchanan, Young
Routines: Closes closet door, checks locks, put a phone by the bed, pulls down the shades, and looks under the bed
Lights: Desk lamp, hall light, night-light, overhead light, computer screen
1. Either Donald or Stephanie admitted with some embarrassment that he or she always checks under the bed before getting in it.
2. The person who double checks all the house locks sleeps with either the Winnie-the-Pooh night-light or a desk lamp on.
