Thread Name: Ludwig Van's DNA story:Real or Hoax?
Subject: RE: Ludwig Van's DNA story:Real or Hoax?
Gee, I've got to think up some silly notion like this to get my brother's music on the front pages! I tried "Composers don't have to be dead to be good," but it didn't do much. We thought about faking his death or changing his last name to Hudzinsky. Since Mozart is his hero, maybe we'll just have to claim he channels him through DNA picked up from Mozart's harpsichord which he saw in person...the same one on which Mozart's fingers played and probably sweated, leaving DNA for the "special" person to come along and translate into neo-classical music!
