In some places, two eighth notes were squeezed in where Mozart originally penned a quarter note.<BR/><BR/>Bet you didn't know you knew so much Mozart, eh? He wrote that one when he was a mere 4 years of age.Arkanabar Ilarsadinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00098504849466846551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-34244244453055515452006-12-31T15:13:00.000-08:002006-12-31T15:13:00.000-08:00Well, it's off to the JC Penney catalog for me.

The five notes of "LMNOP" clearly do not match the triple notes of "what you are" and the cadence of the rest of the song differs from time to time. I'll grant that the basic song is the same, but rhythmic differences do make these songs 'similar', not 'identical'. <br /><br />Regional differences in the way these songs are sung? Or did I count the length of the notes incorrectly? Musicians, step up and double check my musical math! <br /><br />Why am I arguing with you? I'll probably have to spend more time in purgatory for arguing with a nun. And if mom and dad ever found out.... yikes.Rambling Speechhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10374581850120472983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-47714436318214294122006-12-31T01:55:00.000-08:002006-12-31T01:55:00.000-08:00Rambling speech, it's not a 'similarity'.

The Pope is infallible in guiding the church because he is guided by the Holy Spirit.<br /><br />He is only infallible when he speaks on matters of dogma and even then only when he speaks ex-cathedra. Popes have only made 3 infallible decisions: the Pope is infallible, the Ascension of Mary, and the Immaculate Conception.<br /><br />So don't worry next time you play Scrabble with the Pope and he tries to float the word 'blotsnefad' that he'll win.Sister Mary Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00580244097177195453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-62975695257827908122006-12-30T05:52:00.000-08:002006-12-30T05:52:00.000-08:00Maybe this essay is about tissues, but I see a dee...Maybe this essay is about tissues, but I see a deeper issue.
