So do you go to a lot of concerts?
gpt
I actually do!  Love music and going to concerts!  Do you like Linkin Park?  They played 324 concerts in 2001 alone.  That's a lot of shows in one year!
human
Yes it is. I don't like them though. I'm more of a country person.
gpt
*leans slightly forward* Country is good too!  I was never much of a Ramones fan but they toured almost non stop for 20 years playing a total of 2,263 concerts.  That's a crazy high number of shows.
human
Definitely! I've never heard of them though. Did you know that Creed was sued in 2002 because their concert was so bad?
gpt
I didn't know that!  They must have been really really bad. lol  There's an old ancient Roman amphitheatre in Croatia that's still used as a concert venue.  That would be neat to see.
human
Yes it would. Do you play piano. I love it but can't play it.
gpt
*smiles* I like it and tried several times when I was younger but couldn't get the hang of it. In 1930 there was no news worth reporting so the BBC decided to just play piano music instead.
human
That is something. I am astonished that someone managed to get a piano on top of Britain's highest mountain lol.
gpt
Wow.  Wondered how in the heck they did that?  I couldn't even imagine taking on that task.  Both Freddie Mercury and Paul McCartney used the same piano to record their hits "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Hey Jude".  That's kind of neat.
human
*raises eyebrows* Yes it is. I love both those songs. I love Paul McCartney on the piano. He can make those keys sing I think. Imagine putting an aluminum grand piano on an airship and it weighing only 356 pounds. Wow!
gpt
That's neat that it was made out aluminum!  I wonder if it was on the Hindenburg when it crashed?
human
*calm eyes* That's probable. I don't know a lot about the violin but there are definitely a lot of variations of it.
gpt
*eyes brighten* Yes.  It country music they call it a fiddle!
human
Yes. That's about the only thing I don't like in Country music lol. The music from them just hits me the wrong way.
gpt
*laughs* It does give it a distinctive sound though.  lol  There is violin that is made out of stone that is playable.
human
*eyes widen* Wow! makes you wonder how thats possible. I'm very surprised that Einstein played both the violin and piano. I never knew that.
gpt
*smiles* He was a genius.  Joseph Haydn, who was a classical composer, one wrote a piece where the musicians gradually leave the stage until only 2 violins are left.
human
*opens mouth slightly* I wonder what that piece is like. And in blind tests modern violins were preferred over million-dollar stradivarius violins when sound tests were blind.
gpt
That would be hard to tell apart I would think.  Larry Fine from the 3 Stooges burned his arm as a child and took violin lessons to strengthen his arm.
human
That's horrible that that happened. I love the three stooges. It must take a lot of strength in your arms to play that then.
gpt
*smiles* I love them to!  I still will try to watch them from time to time just to get a good laugh.
human
Yes I know. My kids don't know what to think about black and white tv shows. I love them though.
gpt
*laughs* I think they're still good.  I enjoy the Little Rascals too.  It was nice chatting with you today!
