Add a sharp sign to the G of his initials and you have it, implied, the
entire musical spectrum.
AG(#) is priceless.

The MI5 poster: His name is Mike Corley, he is an IT professional but
alas
he has mental health issues. Here are some details about Mike Corley.
He
lives in London, UK. He first began his postings to usenet, BBS, and
forums
in 1995, unsurprisingly first to alt.conspiracy.
He has his own website: http://www.five.org.uk/
"There have been numerous newspaper articles and online thesis about
Mike's
postings, this is a BBC article on the subject:"
http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/alabaster/A164404
"And amongst many other covers of the Mike Corley phenomenon there has
been
a modern opera about this usenet legend:"
http://www.thecorleyconspiracy.com/
The problem is amplified by posters who reply to Mikes X-post floods
without
snipping, and without removing the crossposts. But also Mike Corley
sets
"follow-up" groups to his MI5 posts, this is where...

Let me preface this with the fact that I am no musicologist. I am a violinist and a
guitarist, I have read and listened to much on Fritz Kreisler and I really love the man.
Kreisler, a very good composer and arranger as well as a great violinist was performing
his own music while claiming the pieces were from past great composers. I guess he
didn't feel that he would draw the audiences if his programs were full of his own music.
I think he was most likely wrong on this point, since his audience adored him. He was
certainly not trying to legitimatize the violin as a worthy concert instrument and again
the music was his. And. of course he loved a good joke. Segovia on the other hand
states that he was using the Ponce/pseudonym pieces to legitmize the guitar as a
concert instrument....

Westminster Abbey is the place of the coronation, marriage and burial
of British monarchs, except Edward V and Edward VIII since 1066.
Visitors can see the tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Royal Tombs and
Shrine of Edward the Confessor, the Coronation Chair, Lady Chapel and
Poets' Corner, the Royal Chapels etc. The current building dates
largely from the thirteenth to sixteenth centuries.
Westminster Abbey's real name is "Collegiate Church of St.Peter at
Westminster." England's most notable statesmen and distinguished
subjects have been given burial in the Abbey since the 14th century.
In the Poets' Corner in the south transept one can find the tombs of
Chaucer, Browning, Tennyson, and other great English poets.
The origins of the Abbey, which is the resting-place of Britain's
monarchs and the setting for coronations and other great pageants, can
be traced to the 13th century. Over centuries parts of it have been
rebuilt or added to. The two towers on either side of the main
entrance, which has made the Abbey a recognisable edifice, was built
in the mid-18th century.

FOUND AT YARDSALE 1958 Gibson Flying V
I bought it at a yard sale for $150.00 I knew it was vintage,
but later I found out is is an all original 1958 Gibson flying
V. It even has the original pickups and case. I included
a picture. Do you think I should have it refinished? Does
anyone know the value? Thanks
