Ephemera

There really is a condition called amusia.  It means that the individual's brain can hear music, but it can not comprehend it.  In other words, the listener can't distinguish music from non-music.  It's all just noise to them.

Astronaut Neil Armstrong played the euphonium.  He even marched with the Purdue All-American Marching Band.  In space, though, no one can hear you play.

Frederic Chopin is buried in Pere Lachaise cemetary in France.  His heart, however, was removed from his body and buried in Poland.  This was done at the composer's request.

Elvis Presley's manager (Col. Tom Parker) also managed a group of dancing chickens.  Do you think that's where the King learned his dance moves?

The U.S. has more country music radio stations than any other type of music station.  I feel conflicted about this.
