Music festival?

How can you find the information about music festival? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pthaipetkul (talk • contribs) 03:27, 10 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

First, I would identify the name of the music festival you're talking about. Failing that, I would determine the location of the music festival. Then I would use Google to search for either the name of the festival (e.g. "bumbershoot"), or for the location of the music festival, along with, perhaps, the words "music festival" (e.g. "seattle music festival").

Or you could just cheat and type music festival in the search box.--Shantavira|^{feed me} 07:51, 10 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Multiple-piano classroom in Fame (2009 film)

Are there actually music classrooms (like at a High School of Performing Arts) with rows of pianos on which the pupils are seated in pairs and play four-hands in unison? My daughter (a music major though not a pianist) just saw the remake of Fame and found this scene preposterous, but perhaps in America everything's possible. -- Deborahjay (talk) 16:08, 10 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I just did a Google image search for piano classroom, and the results are informative. I definitely found one that would seem to match your description, but apparently it's a college/university classroom, not one at a high school.–RHolton ≡– 11:37, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently Bethany College does have a music department offering undergraduate degrees, so perhaps the "dealer's showroom" layout seen in that photo has merit. I still doubt it's widely used in piano instruction at advanced levels. -- Deborahjay (talk) 19:33, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Frank Sinatra

It said on TV last night that Frank had an extremely long schlong for a white man. can this be verified?--79.75.33.123 (talk) 17:16, 10 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Who said it? →Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots 17:31, 10 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

His valet/personal assistant (who was black). He said hed seen it in the shower.--79.75.33.123 (talk) 18:48, 10 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You could find out which of these women are still alive and ask them... Adam Bishop (talk) 02:20, 11 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Don't know about Sinatra, but Milton Berle was well known for his endowment. Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 06:22, 11 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm trying to recall which comic it was, possibly Jan Murray, who at a Friars' Roast suppsedly said that Berle was unable to be there, because "he crossed his legs and is in the hospital". →Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots 06:26, 11 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I tried ["frank sinatra" endowed] in Google and several probably-dubious references came up. But one of them said something about Kitty Kelley's book about Sinatra, My Way. I would think that's a good reference for the rumor, at least. Adam Bishop, who I'm guessing is a cousin of Sinatra's pal Joey, probably has the right theoretical idea. I think Frank's two most recent wives are still around. →Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots 06:33, 11 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
