Let's spread some musical misinformation

In fairness, both the British and the French changed tuning standards several times in an effort to reign in the rogue colonies. As well, it is well understood that the Germans encrypted tunings using Enigma from1939-1945.

For 70 years people have tried to decode Schoenberg, working on the principle there must be a tune in there. They stopped when the first piece decoded turned out to be the Birdy Song.
 
I recently got a Schroedinger Wave Tuner. Before I plug in to it, I am either in tune or not, depending on if I'm using the Austrian or Irish citizenship model. I'm too scared to even try to use it.

Before a song is heard by the public it is in a state of both good and bad, until its wave function is collapsed by public opinion. Egos are sometimes entangled and simultaneously deflated.
 
I said all the Beatles, but I meant in the 1962-70 period. Pete Best's real name was Wurst, his father being a German paratrooper from Hamburg who landed in Walmington-on-Sea in 1940, which is why they ended up playing in Hamburg around 1960, as they stopped in his dad's rather cramped cellar.
He only released one album. It was 'The Best of Wurst,' it was the worst of Wurst.
 
Picks are ok for Chicken Pickin', but I generally pluck with fingers.

Yeah, I pluck my chickens with my fingers, too. A pick might serve better for pig picking. Lol.

On a serious note: when I do use a pick, which is rarely, I do like the feeling I get in my wrist and arm. It emulates strumming a guitar. Of course, it's not every song, but on some.
