Freshman year in college, Music Appreciation 101, a group of new music majors getting their first exposure to the classics.

Sitting next to me was a stunning blonde (sorry, she was really WAS a blonde), freshman voice major, from a small rural town in the Midwest.

As the professor delivered his speech about the Fauré Requiem and its significance, I looked over to the blonde who looked puzzled but was carefully taking notes.

On her paper she had written "the 4H Requiem"

I guess her farm roots ran deep...

BTW - 4 years later I had her join me in a recital performance of the "Shepherd on the Rock'.

I figured the audience would be too busy watching her [whoa]

, than to notice any errors in my playing.
