HOMEWORK:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Joplin:
"Scott Joplin, the second of six children, was born in eastern Texas, near Linden,[2] to Florence Givins and Giles or Jiles Joplin. November 24, 1868 has been assumed as the correct birth date of Scott Joplin, but modern research by ragtime historian Ed Berlin has revealed this is almost certainly inaccurate. The 1870 census lists Scott, age 2, as the son of Jiles and Florence Joplin. The exact location of his birth is uncertain.[3]":
Well, THIS is a fine time to tell me!!!

Not of works, lest any man should boast."

Il Divo cantando - "Amazing Grace"
Click on link below:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtrnB4FZ-yc
Il Divo put a fresh face on popular songs,
utilizing their exceptional voices, good looks, and cultural diversity to
bring their romantic blend of classical and pop music to audiences around the
world. Formed after a two-year search, the quartet is comprised of American
tenor David Miller, popular French singer Sébastien Izambard, Swiss tenor Urs
Buhler, and Spanish baritone Carlos Marin. Their eponymous debut album was
released in April of 2005 and featured a diverse play list that included a
cover of the Toni Braxton hit "Unbreak My Heart" and the Frank Sinatra
standard "My Way," as well as "Nella Fantasia," a newly arranged -- with
vocals -- version of "Gabriel's Oboe" from Ennio Morricone's score for The
Mission. It became a massive worldwide hit, and the quartet returned in 2005
with Ancora, a ten-track collection of new music featuring the hit "I Believe
in You" with Celine Dion. The similarly themed Siempre was released the
following year.

Thank you very much, Joey!
I'm not quite well, but I am feeling much better
now!
I'm so glad you're enjoying the varied content.
I try to celebrate everything here for two reasons - to rejoice with those who
are observing, and to educate those who are not. That way we all grow closer
together! I'm always a bit fearful that I'll miss something or forget it
altogether, but I do give it my best shot!
