Blind, Def, dead?

Post by HotDog-Cart » Tue Nov 22, 2005 3:30 am

Okay,

Here's a Puzzler.

How does a blind person play music?

How does a Def Person, "listen" to music?

and How does a Dead PErson Play music?

Maybe you should ask Joe Elliott.

The correct spelling is Deaf (at least you didn't write death, I guess).

and the same way that amazing blind guitarist did, Ray played music better than most people who could see, prolly because his hearing was hightended.

Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder did it. The keyboard is laid out in scales, with the black half-note keys in a pattern of 2-3-2-3-2-3. The key directly to the left of a 2 pattern is C, IIRC.

Beethoven composed his greatest work after he lost his hearing (from lead poisoning I think). He held a wooden stick in his teeth and rested the other end on the piano. The vibration generated by the piano went up the stick, through his teeth and bones, and into his ear bones.

When they were still alive. :P

The Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac seem to be mysteriously rapping from beyond the grave...if you count that as "playing music."

actually, most composers can hear music in their head just by reading it, so there have probably a bunch of deaf people "listening" to music ;)...

oh, and the black keys on a piano are actually 2-3-2-3-2-3 (and so on) . C is to the left of the "2" ;).
Without games my life would have no meaning.
Well, I guess it would, but it would be a lot less fun!!!!!!!

well its more just their stuff that wasnt released. pople only buy it because they are dead, but that doesnt really make sense. Do people feel bad for them, because they died, so they feel they should buy their music?
