Thought I'd post this topic for fun. It should reveal interesting attributes of people who frequent this forum.
Post one random fact about yourself. It can something trivial or something important. Anything you feel like sharing. Doesn't necessarily have to be related to music.
So here I go -
I can mimic almost anybody - voice, gait, mannerisms, quirks etc perfectly within 15 minutes of meeting that person. So if any of you meet me, watch out! :badgrin:
I am a former volunteer fire chief & past president of our state's Volunteer Firefighters' Association. I play alto sax in my volunteer fire company band.
Several years ago, I got spontaneous double vision in the one eye - one morning I could suddenly see two versions of the world, one above the other, both in perfect focus, out of my right eye.
Left eye, still perfectly normal. Right eye, stereoscopic. Years later, a leading opthalmologist is still trying to figure out what's with that... Him and me both! 8;-(
It's funny that now absolutely everyone else has at least four eyes! and an o looks like 8. Dead-set completely does my head in sometimes... 8;-(
They are quite similar. Australians invented question talking...the thing where every sentence is a question. I find many people not just young girls do this. It's possibly the most intensly irritating invention of the last century.
Really Simon? That's very cool..on your head I presume? Ah those lunchtime Sunday gigs..
so the legend goes that sailors of old may have been seeing these and mistook them for 'mermaids'. i'm thinking those sailors had to be at sea for a LONG time to think one of those things are good looking. that, or they were making the RIGHT decision to leave their previous land/home.
I killed a man with my clarinet. Really, I did. He requested Clarinet Polka and had a heart attack at the end of the tune. Summer of 1983 Chateau Lake Louise.
For years, when I put the ligature on the mouthpiece, about half the time I'd get it wrong the first time, that is I'd try to put the smaller end on first, backwards, as it were. You know, I'd look and try to tell which was the small end, but the difference is not great, and I'd frequently get it wrong.
It came as a big revelation to me, about a year ago, that you could always get it on the right way by orienting it so the screw heads are the right side !
In February of 2000 I set the new Guinness World Record for Circular breathing. I broke Kenny G's record. I held the note a record of 47 minutes and 5.5 seconds. My name is Vann Burchfield and my record still stands to this day.
