and they said that Chopin died at the age of 39 with tuberculosis.
Is that what phthisic is??? :dance: :dance:

I'm probably butting my nose in here but I felt like I had REALLY bad lisp trying to say that word outloud and got really curious as to whether you were making it up so had to go look!
Ha...
I'm still diggin' the word "conundrum"... I'm afraid if I try to say THAT word in the heading I'll either spit all over or bite my tongue. :crackup: :crackup:
Definitely don't say it with crackers in your mouth!!!
:crackup:
Dee and Shantell,
You girls make me smile. Thank you!
Warmest bear hugs, :hug:

Aren't smiles the best, Queen?

Which I always find interesting. Lizt wrote piano music that the average pianist would need three hands for-I think his hands must have been absolutely humongous. And Chopin wasn't all that big at all.
If you are into pianists, try him out....
I put the Lizt on and cook in the kitchen and I'm dancing around and chopping and crying and the hubs thinks its the onions, or cleaning and laughing and he wonders how he can get me to do the garage.....ha! Like that'll happen in this lifetime. Ahh words and music......
