I thought "to fuck to" was the infinitive.

fucko, fuckas, fuckat.

El Guapo (presently known as Supersystem)

Not so much, I'm afraid. But Shy Child (one of the side projects that's still going) was quite impressively good live when I caught them.

Paul Winter Consort and it's illustrious progeny. Maybe too soft and jazzy.

Oh.

That's the imperative.

What I meant by "none from outside Europe" is that none of the instruments are from outside Europe—no suona, for instance. However:

Then just forget McCandless, America-hater

Gladly. (Well—I don't object to all of Oregon's works, but they are a little bland, and that's the only context in which I know McCandless.)

Speaking of Latin imperatives, the motto for my high school's Latin Club was "Fac, fac, facite, dic, dic, dicite, facite, dicite, faciamus!" We used to all say it together at meetings. Good times.

Ours was "semper ubi sub ubi".

Maybe it was original when the club was founded.

I had thought of that; you may well be heir to the original tradition, later imitated widely by lesser Latin Clubs.

I think "Nullum magnum ingenium sine mixtura dementiae fuit" would make a good motto.

In our second-year class the teacher used to write up Latin sayings or eminent quotables every now and then, and when she wrote that one up, she directed the class's attention first to it, and then to me.

She also referred to deponent verbs with the name "deponent moron", out of deference to a time in a previous class when one student was so upset at another's inability to parse a verb that he cried out, "it's a deponent, moron!".

You must learn Edmund Welles before you begin your show. I realize it is too late, but the space-time continuum may elect flexibility in this matter.

You must learn the difference between double and single reeds, and the definition of "before".

Granted on the "single" vs "double" business, but I stand by my attitude re: before. Glad to see you've already been to that mountaintop.
