Random Music Thought

J.S. Bach's Ciaccona (Partita No. 2 in D minor, BWV 1004): the Baroque Era :: Donna Summer's "Love to Love You Baby" : the Seventies. I can just imagine Bach bringing his work to some 18th century Bavarian duke or what have you, performing it, and then being told "it's hot, dawg [in German, mind], but I need it to be long enough to screw to...can you add, say, ten minutes?" Hence a musical marvel is born. Oh, the lovin' that can be soundtracked by this interpretation. Arthur Grimaux = teh man.

Okay, I knew about "cool", I did not know about "horny".

This whole mental episode is making me want to learn German even more, btw.

Horny is the older defination, or why your grandma would wrinkle her nose if she heard you use it. As I understand it, it didn't start meaning "cool" until the 60s or so.

I just discovered that CUNY Grad offers German Cont Ed classes.
