    It’s not that specific. I remembered the German girl playing Op 106, and YouTube would auto start her playing firebird after. (I watched the 106 video a lot) But I couldn’t remember her name. So I found the thread where I posted about her and was surprised to see you had followed up with her firebird video.

    @Klaus said in This morning's musical interlude - "The Hunt": Faithful to the score in every detail. Indeed, except at the last few measures of the 2nd movement, where I think he slowed down just a bit. But yes, it's wonderful, and very "Beethoven." The recording I posted (mostly out of curiosity) just struck me as being, well, odd. I listened to some of his other interpretations of the sonatas (Op 28, 26, 11) and he does the same crap with them as well.

    @jon-nyc said in Hey JMU grads: @Horace said in Hey JMU grads: Are there no consumer protection laws for that? I saw a comment from a Northeastern parent on twitter saying parents and kids each had to sign a document acknowledging special Covid rules and the consequences for violating them. That probably prevents any action other than an appeal within the University. Let’s see what happens when the bank that provided the loan decides to get involved... And the government entity overseeing Pell Grants for that matter...

    They are arguing they got it in on time and the system had been down for several hours. Let’s start with those two discoverable facts and see where they land.

    @Jolly said in 'You're Not Allowed To Film': Barr said the other day, they have monitored several of the leaders flying from city to city. When you are organizing riots across state lines, I think you have become a Federal case, and subject to all Federal laws. https://nypost.com/2020/09/05/black-lives-matter-protesters-riot-in-manhattan-cause-100000-damage/ Eight people were arrested Friday night when a group of 150 Black Lives Matter protesters smashed windows and graffitied the storefronts of Lower Manhattan chain stores and banks, police sources said. One of the arrested protesters was from Portland, Ore., and another was from Iowa, the sources said.

    So the Left says it's ok to kill children, and now it's ok to fuck them...... Anyone who has sex with a minor should be shot dead. I disagree that it's a "good idea" to leave it up to a judge whether or not to put them on a sex offender registry. They should not only be put on the registry, they should be permanently branded with a branding iron so everyone will know he's on the registry. This is another example of how Leftwing thinking gradually rots society. At the same time this is happening there is a movement to have pedophilia recognized as a normal sexual preference. Do that, then take them off the registry, then next it will be decrminalized altogether. Just shoot the bastards. Shoot the bastards who came up with this shit idea too, for that matter. Hell, just shoot Leftwingers.

    That is going to be looked at closely I would think. Unless it is some ploy to make the price drop, pick it all back up and more then cash in when the vaccine is successful. But I seriously doubt that.

    @jon-nyc said in Suicide by cop: Cop #2 is lucky to have survived. Why the hell didn’t he have his gun drawn? At least after the guy got back up he should have had his out, if not sooner. Suspect was white. The code doesn’t allow them to shoot white people.

    That is interesting and an eye opener.of course, they both watched Michael Landon.
