Delightful hairdo!
No, it's cool.(Pardon my superficiality.)
Oh, I didn’t know! Somehow I connect him with April, though; not sure why.No, it's cool.
I only posted the Shakespeare photo bc it's kind of Shakespeare Day! No-one really knows but it's generally thought he was born on 23 April but also (possibly) died on 23 April. So to my mind that makes it 'Shakespeare Day'. Bc why not?
It's also World Book Day today. Bc of Shakespeare. In the UK it used to be on 23 April and then they changed it bc of St George but mostly bc it sometimes clashes with school Easter holidays. So in the UK World Book Day is sometime in March which is complete nonsense, imo.Oh, I didn’t know! Somehow I connect him with April, though; not sure why.
Definitely worthy of celebration!
Imagine him with a comb overDelightful hairdo!
Oh, I forgot about the waterfall thing. No, I saw this and freaked out. It's quite pretty, I suppose, but a beck whooshing right past the back of your house like that? I could not cope. I'm too urban!Waterfalls again?!
I didn’t know you had that word. Holy Moly! Cognate with German Bach, Swedish bäck.Oh, I forgot about the waterfall thing. No, I saw this and freaked out. It's quite pretty, I suppose, but a beck whooshing right past the back of your house like that? I could not cope. I'm too urban!
Beck, afaik, is a Northern word. Is it any old stream or just the ones with a stony bed? Can't remember. Also don't know when a beck becomes a burn. Burn is Scottish for a small stream but cannot remember if it's a particular type of small stream or just any old thing!I didn’t know you had that word. Holy Moly!

Hard to go wrong with J.S.B.!Bach!
Toccata and Fugue in D Minor - this is not my fave version but it'll do.
I hope it ended well.
oh, bring it on!Hard to go wrong with J.S.B.!
Parenthetically: The German word for beck has a few different representations, which I have understood @bluemoon7 is quite eager to fill you in on.

I love Americans but sometimes you just have toWell, US citizens tend to call our beloved composer Bach "BACK", which is double cringeworthy because
"back" would be an imperative form of "backen"
I feel compelled to say Hackenback. Perhaps I am American!backen = to bake
back! = bake!
Oh, now we're talking. Lovely little creature. Fabulous!BACHSTELZE
