SBS - LOL.


   I'm still getting the hang of this conversation thing when it starts out as a question, so now I don't know which question to respond to; there seem to be several bouncing around.

   I have no idea what characteristics of mudcatters in relation to their background.


   HOWEVER, i don't suppose there are many around here with 2 grandparents hailing from the Ukraine, and a 3rd from Lithuania. My mother, the parent with the Russian parents told me that the family had gone to Ukraine from "somewhere in the Austro-Hungarian Empire". Since I love music, I of course assume as a truism, that the family name back then was Mozart, and eventually evolved, the way names do, into Goltzer.(There are some currently dotted around the US, Goltzers not Mozarts, you understand, tho' it IS curious that both contain the letter Z.)

Are there many who grew up mostly in Hendon,N.W.London, something of a comedown from Mozart, but I put on a brave face when I go out. People here in Norfolk have heard of Mozart, you see. Which is why I've brought myself up on Western cultural values, in a free-floating Jewish manner. (Unlike Mozart) (And John Prescott)

   (Bit more like Blair or Bush)

   (Except the Jewish bit)
