I must say I am surprised by the Wilton High School reference in this latest sneak preview. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilton_High_School"Wilton High School is a public high school in Wilton, Connecticut... In 2005-2006, Wilton High School students in 11 groups took part in the North American Music Festival in which eight schools and 1,300 students took part. Several ensembles from Wilton finished in first place and all 11 were rated "superior" or "excellent". Wilton won best overall instrumental and best overall choral program." It is listed in the Schools in Fairfield County, Connecticut page of Wikipedia. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Schools_in_Fairfield_County%2C_ConnecticutMr. Holland's Opus (1995) www.imdb.com/title/tt0113862/"A frustrated composer finds fulfillment as a high school music teacher."Holland, eh? What was that about "the real one lives in a county of fair fields" that someone here wrote about once...? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairfield_County,_Connecticut St. Germaine was always said to have been an extraordinary musickian.

Thanks for posting that skyward. In the Rotten Apple YouTube Sock Puppets thread, Reply #7, Doc wrote: "Who?
www.youtube.com/watch?v=iT7Y_tsyeas "Doc, I presume you are asking, "Who is Youknowmyname231 saying is 'your buddy' ?" In the video he seems to be suggesting that Buddy Holly, Paul, and Faul are linked in spirit. That is to say, in some respects, all the same person, or brothers in music. Youknowmyname231 likes to relate things to Biblical references, so when he asks "Who's your buddy?", he is probably suggesting that God/Christ/ and Faul-Paul- Buddy are (your buddy). I think he really does want you to make that kind of a connection.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckgsaRDsDCEGet a Clue Scarlett Pimpernel The Scarlet Pimpernel is a classic play and adventure novel by Baroness Emmuska Orczy, set during the Reign of Terror following the French Revolution. It was first produced as a record-breaking play in an adaptation by Julia Neilson and Fred Terry. The play first opened on 15 October 1903 at Nottingham’s Theatre Royal; it was not a success. But Terry had confidence in the play and, with a rewritten last act, he took it to London where it opened at the New Theatre on 5 January 1905. The standing ovation of the first night audience proved him right, but the critics were unimpressed. The London critics criticized it as old-fashioned. Despite that, the play became a popular success. It began a run of 122 performances and numerous revivals, becoming a favourite of the London audiences - playing more than 2000 performances, one of the most popular shows ever staged in an English theatre. The novel was published soon after the play's opening and was an immediate success. Orczy gained a following of readers in England and throughout the world. With the demand high, she wrote a number of sequels over the next 35 years. The success of The Scarlet Pimpernel, in novel and play form, allowed Orczy and her husband to live out their lives in luxury and comfort. Over the years, they lived on an estate in Kent, a bustling London home and an opulent villa in Monte Carlo. Orczy continued to create adventures for her "reckless daredevil" and watch his incarnations take life throughout the world. The play was performed to great acclaim in France, Italy, Germany and Spain, while the novel was translated into 16 languages. Orczy wrote in her autobiography, Links In the Chain of Life: I have so often been asked the question: "But how did you come to think of The Scarlet Pimpernel?" And my answer has always been: "It was God's will that I should." And to you moderns, who perhaps do not believe as I do, I will say, "In the chain of my life, there were so many links, all of which tended towards bringing me to the fulfillment of my destiny..." The novel is set in 1792, during the bloodthirsty, early stages of the French Revolution. Marguerite St. Just, a beautiful French ex-actress, is the wife of wealthy English fop Sir Percy Blakeney, a baronet. Before their marriage, Marguerite had said things in private that had the unintended consequence of sending French aristocrat the Marquis de St. Cyr and his sons to the guillotine. When Percy found out, he became estranged from his wife. Meanwhile, a secret society of 19 English aristocrats, the "League of the Scarlet Pimpernel", is engaged in rescuing their French counterparts from the daily executions. Their leader, the mysterious Scarlet Pimpernel, takes his nickname from the drawing of a small red flower with which he signs his messages. Despite being the talk of London society, only his followers and possibly the Prince of Wales know the Pimpernel's true identity. Like many others, Marguerite is entranced by the Pimpernel's daring exploits. At a ball attended by the Blakeneys, Percy's verse about the Pimpernel makes the rounds and amuses the other guests. Meanwhile, Marguerite is blackmailed by the wily new French envoy to England, Citizen Chauvelin. Chauvelin's agents have stolen a letter incriminating her beloved brother Armand, proving that he is in league with the Pimpernel. Chauvelin offers to trade Armand's life for her help against the Pimpernel. Contemptuous of her seemingly witless and unloving husband, Marguerite does not go to him for help or advice. Instead, she passes along information which enables Chauvelin to learn the Pimpernel's true identity. Later that night, Marguerite finally tells her husband of the terrible danger threatening her brother and pleads for his assistance. Percy promises to save him. After Percy unexpectedly leaves for France, Marguerite discovers to her horror that he is the Pimpernel—the very man she has endangered. He had hidden behind the persona of a dull, slow-witted fop in order to deceive the world. He had not even told Marguerite because of his worry that she might betray him, as she had done others in the past. Desperate to save her spouse, she pursues Percy to France to try to warn him. Chauvelin is close to capturing Percy on several occasions, but the Englishman manages to outwit him each time. Percy rescues Armand and the Comte de Tourney, the father of a school friend of Marguerite's. He is finally reunited with his frantic wife when they are both taken prisoner by Chauvelin, though luckily Percy is so well disguised as a despised Jew that the Frenchman does not recognize him. The couple later manage to escape. With Marguerite's love and courage amply proved, Percy's ardour is rekindled. Safely back on board their schooner, the Day Dream, the happily reconciled couple returns to England. They seek him here, They seek him there, Those Frenchies seek him everywhere. Is he in heaven? —Is he in hell? That dammed, elusive Pimpernel. Sir Percy Blakeney (ch.12) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Scarlet_Pimpernel

Weezer - Buddy Hollyyoutube.com/watch?v=gV5iQJLpVnM"This is the music video of Weezer performing Buddy Holly on the classic TV show "Happy Days". It was also featured on the Windows 95 CD."Hmmm. Curious. Weezer Buddy Holly Music Video Commentarywww.youtube.com/watch?v=_CBQSIDMb0EI've posted the Weezer song "Buddy Holly" because their lead singer, Rivers Cuomo, looks a bit like Buddy Holly, and of course the Buddy Holly/Beatle connection is the subject of this YouKnowMyName231 video: Understudy (#13)www.youtube.com/watch?v=iT7Y_tsyeaswhich is my favorite from him so far, for what it's worth. But it seems there may be another link in the Buddy Holly/Paul McCartney chain, and that "link" may be Kurt Cobain! Our friend beatlies at the Doppelganger website noticed a similarity of Rivers Cuomo with Kurt Cobain in Reply #3 in this thread at that site: doppels.proboards99.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=4&page=1He speculated that Rivers Cuomo might, in fact, be Kurt Cobain. He points to this commentary: riverscobain.web1000.com/rc/1.htmlI don't believe that Rivers Cuomo is Kurt Cobain, but I sure could think they're related in some way. Compare the picture of Rivers Cuomo in the post at the Doppelganger site to this video of Kurt Cobain with Nirvana, playing the role of Paul McCartney!Nirvana-In Bloomwww.youtube.com/watch?v=wY3oEvaq71ASo there may be a Buddy Holly-Paul McCartney-Rivers Cuomo connection that bears examination. In fact, given the fact that Weezer did the Buddy Holly song, I'd say there's a pretty good possibility that there is a connection of some sort. Remember, Paul is supposed to be "Mother Nature's Son" , while the message of "In Bloom" is that "(Mother) Nature is a whore"! Notice too that in the Nirvana video, the band members change from male attire to dresses! This corresponds to Paul being portrayed as wearing a dress in the Magical Mystery Tour comics as the "fool on the hill". And the whole Mother Nature and Mother Nature's Son material corresponds to the old religious idea of Ishtar (Mother Nature) and her son Tammuz (Mother Nature's Son) who loses his masculinity (effectivelly 'becoming a woman') when he goes into the underworld (the world of the dead) for 6 months every year. More about that here: www.freemasonrytoday.com/09/p09.php" ....There can be little doubt that the Third Degree, read through the eyes of one acquainted with the Ishtar-Tammuz cult does bear striking coincidences with this particular mystery. What is the essence of this cult? The cult legend (which the Prophets demonstrate was very popular among Israelites) has many forms but the basic scheme concerns the marriage of the fertility goddess from on high with the spirit of vegetation (Tammuz) who impregnates her. This act, like that of the bee in relation to its female counterpart, is his ‘undoing’ and (losing his phallic potential) he dies and, like the seed that falls when the corn is cut at harvest-time, enters the underworld. Ishtar (Babylonian) or Astarte (Syrian) goes in search of him, being led (or perambulated) through the gates and guardians of the underworld (divested of her ‘garments’ as she goes) until she recovers Tammuz and ensures his ‘resurrection’ in Spring. Astarte/Ishtar emerges in the eastern sky as the Morning Star - our Venus - as goddess of ‘love’: guarantor of the continuity of life and harbinger of the Sun. Ishtar is of course ‘the widow’ (her husband having ‘died’) and Hiram is called “a widow’s son”, as masons are also called ‘sons of the widow’..."So Paul is Tammuz, "mother nature's son", the black rose.

What a track to pick LB, I love it. What I do remember though is that when I saw in bloom on MTV when I was about 11, my mates older brother told me that Kurt had replaced the original lead singer of Nirvana years previously. Now whether he was trying to pull my leg being older or whether he had heard some kind of rumour I don't know.
Anyway, I did hear that Weezer do the best Nirvana covers live and I have seen the odd photo where Rivers looks like Kurt, but they're just one off stills at the end of the day, and I don't think that there's any other evidence that backs that theory up. I think the only likely conspiracy involving Cobain, is that it wasn't suicide....

the arrow points North to the Holmes Museum In the very first story, A Study in Scarlet, something of Holmes' background is given. In early 1881, he is presented as an independent student of chemistry with a variety of very curious side interests, almost all of which turn out to be single-mindedly bent towards making him superior at solving crimes. An early story, "The Adventure of the Gloria Scott", presents more background on what caused Holmes to become a detective: a college friend's father complimented him very highly on his deductive skills. Holmes always uses scientific (or supposedly scientific) methods and focuses on logic and the powers of observation and deduction. He is an eccentric character and always remains objective. He only reveals things to us gradually.In A Study in Scarlet, Dr. Watson assesses Holmes's abilities thus: Knowledge of Literature.—Nil. Knowledge of Philosophy.—Nil. Knowledge of Astronomy.—Nil. Knowledge of Politics.—Feeble. Knowledge of Botany.—Variable. Well up in belladonna, opium and poisons generally. Knows nothing of practical gardening. Knowledge of Geology.—Practical, but limited. Tells at a glance different soils from each other. After walks, has shown me splashes upon his trousers, and told me by their colour and consistence in what part of London he had received them. Knowledge of Chemistry.—Profound. Knowledge of Anatomy.—Accurate, but unsystematic. Knowledge of Sensational Literature.—Immense. He appears to know every detail of every horror perpetrated in the century. Plays the violin well. Is an expert singlestick player, boxer and swordsman. Has a good practical knowledge of British law. However, even at the very end of "A Study in Scarlet" itself, it is shown that Holmes knows Latin and needs no translation of Roman epigrams in the original - though that knowledge is not mentioned in the above list, and the language would be of doubtful direct utility for detective work.
wiki all about scarlet en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Study_in_Scarlet"There’s the scarlet thread of murder running through the colourless skein of life, and our duty is to unravel it, and isolate it, and expose every inch of it."

www.customessaymeister.com/customessays/Cliff%20Notes/2527.htmDetective Lestrade found the word "RACHE" scrawled in blood
in the darkest corner of the room. After Holmes examined the
word upon the wall, with glass and tape, he related his findings
to the two detectives. He deduced that the murderer was six feet
high, in his prime of life, wore squared toe boots, had small
feet and smoked a Trichinopoly cigar. He came to the scene in a
four wheeled cab. He also presumed that in all probability his
face was florid and he had long finger nails. Also, he
discovered that the word "RACHE" was German for revenge.

well if you really get into the etymology of these words, rise and rache, there are definite connectiions across the board in several languages. I spared everybody that little hayride into iameyland ( see, I do try!)
