I`ve signed the contract for my open heart surgery now. I asked the surgeon if there was any side effects, he pointed his finger to the contract where it says, "death". "You don`t beat about the bush, do you?", I replied.

Now to operate in the heart, first it has to be STOPPED, that is the exciting bit, that means one is dead for at least a fraction of a second while the mechanical pump takes over. I want to cash in that instant to be able to capture the spirit of J S Bach and Beethoven which I know are there waiting to be bestowed on somebody who will take their skills in playing and composition and continue their great unfinished work due to their premature deaths (65 & 57)

I might be that person, and I hope when I came round (If I do), I will be able to play and compose like them.

For that to happen I have to be prepared by some medium or spiritualist who will show me how to prepare myself to receive that spirit, so if you know of somebody who can help, please let me know. Only somebody who dies and resuscitates can receive that spirit.

I think I have a good chance of that to happen by applying Einstein`s formula, E=MC2 which explains everything in the Universe, so, Enlightenment = Music x Composers2
Enlightenment = music knowledge possessed times composers who will enlighten me to the square. My music knowledge is limited but with J S Bach and Beethoven to the square I`m sure I will receive a lot of enlightenment.

This is not unusual. I saw in Beethoven`s house in Bonn his original autographs book given by his friends when he left Bonn for Vienna the second time, when he was 22. One of them said in it he would receive Mozart`s spirit.

If I cannot get a medium or spiritualist to train me I will do like Fausto and sell my soul to the Devil for that Enlightenment...............the choice is yours.............

Do you want Satan to belong to this forum?????????........

I have nothing to say about channeling composers, but I sincerely wish you good luck in your surgery.

Having had open-heart myself, I wish you all the best, Carldee.

As for channeling composers, with my luck, I'd end up channeling Ferde Grofe.

Actually, now that I think of it, I would probably channel Hanon!

For a great read check out "Sleeping With Schubert" by Bonnie Marson. A Brooklyn lawyer finds herself taken over by the spirit of Schubert and playing gorgeous piano in the atrium at Nordstrom.
Exceptional channeling and more fun than a basket of kittens!

Best of luck on your upcoming surgery. May you have a lovely nappie and wake up singing!
