Very interesting. Our nobodies are Dufay, Josquin, Lasso, Palestrina, Marenzio, Rore, Dowland, Monteverdi, Sch�tz, Couperin, Vivaldi, Purcell, H�ndel, Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms, Wagner, Verdi, Stravinski, Bartok, .... and hundreds of other giants. Who are your somebodies? Best wishes from old Europe, Rainer adS Oops - I forgot - in America every monkey has the opportunity to become governor or president.
