Like: Suppose we're talking about whatever.....let's say:
"Ever notice how today's pianists aren't as great as they used to be? I don't know what it is....."
You can embed your own ad about it!
VLADIMIR HOROWITZ -- GREATEST PIANIST IN HISTORY
BUY HIS RECORDS!
I don't know why, but they just don't have the personality or the style, I don't know.....

Some people only like to play stuff by who they think are the greatest composers, like Bach or Beethoven or what have you. But there's a lot of other stuff, and a lot of people like that a lot too, sometimes even more than Bach or Beethoven or what have you....
CHOPIN -- LISTEN TO HIS POLONAISES AND MAZURKAS!
YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY!
I mean, Bach and Beethoven and what have you have their place, but.....

Hmm. Interesting idea.
IF THE STANDARD COMPOSERS CAN'T DO IT FOR YOU, ALKAN!! LISTEN TO HIS CELLO SONATA FOR FREE ON YOUTUBE!

Strange, my Firefox AdBlock isn't working on these... Just click on Marks name and at the bottom of his profile, click on "ignore users posts".

Ooh ooh I wanna play, too:
GABRIELA MONTERO -- PIANIST TO THE GODS -- BASE YOUR LIFE UPON HER TEACHINGS
I went with purple. I like purple. And no, she has never been caught in a compromising position with a farm animal.

I'm fine with it as long as the ads are generally "on topic".... Why? What's wrong with going off a little, like.... I've been trying to get into opera lately, not that I mind it too much, but.....

He made an HTML post, instead of a 'normal' one (thus the html tags in his post). HTML keeps the spaces, but normal posts do not. This is what his post looks like without the html tags: !

More aesthetically pleasing, IMO. Yes -- and I think all the secrets of the universe are contained right there, if only we can decipher them! P.S. I think they might also be in the second fugue of Op. 110.

one of my favorite pictures of all time. By the way, for those who don't know, that little star in the left side of the rings is Earth. Dave T. THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX PEOPLE!
