This is what came to me - I wonder about how many different kinds of Nothing are there?

Does anyone have any idea about this?

There are exactly three, Don:

1) Nothing here
2) Nothing there
3) Nothing anywhere

I mean there are three so far as I know; but keep up the deep thinking __ if you discover a fourth please share it.

What about nothing nowhere ?

Thanks for your help on identifying some of the nothing categories or various kinds of nothing.

I just thought of two more - nothing anyhow and nothing anyway.

By the way, those are "southern expression" categories.

Aloha,

Don

Recorded by the world-famous Alan F Brookes Septet, which consists of:
Lead Vocal: Alan Brookes
1st Harmony: Alan Brookes
2nd Harmony: Alan Brookes
3rd Harmony: Alan Brookes
4th Harmony: Alan Brookes
5th Harmony: Alan Brookes
6th Harmony: Alan Brookes
Hawaiian Guitar: Alan Brookes

Just be grateful that I recorded it on my 8 channel machine. On my 24 channel machine you would have had another 16 vocals by, guess who, Alan Brookes

Is no-one going to sing along with me ? I'd buy drinks all round, but it's difficult to arrange that over the internet.

Just pick a time and a day, allowing for time changes, and we all will raise a glass of nothing and holler SAL-LOUIE, all at the same time!! That outta do it.

Then we can all post pics here of us with our glasses of nothing raised high!

My Dad made homemade root beer back in the 30's and thought gnihton of it. Sometimes the bottles would explode if he used too much yeast for the carbonation and then we had gnihton to drink !!

So, When's somebody going to nominate us for the Guinness world record, I'm ready to be famous!

If we were in the book, people would ask what it took to make the record. We could say, "Ah, it was nothin'"

"Nothing" is nothing like a Guinness. By the way, the Guinness that they sell for export is NOTHING like as strong as the stuff they sell in Ireland and Britain, as American tourists often find to their cost on their travels. And then, of course, the Irish pint is 20 ozs., not the short 16 ozs. you find over here.

Gnihton like the old Imperial Gallon to mess with a GI's head while filling up the old car in the UK...

Hey Alan,

Thanks for that recording of Happpy Birthday to Nothing. Nothing could have been more appropriate.

I have a request. Do you think next year you could do The Sounds of Silence instead?

Blue grass style with a banjo lead...high notes like Bill Monroe would have sang it..nothing more...nothing less will do.

There's gnihton like having a pint of Guinness at St. James gate! It's all that vitamin rich water from the Liffey.

Are you trying to say The Sounds of Nothing?

I'll start work on it right away. I have nothing scheduled for this evening.

Nothing seems to be going on around here!!!

Why does it always have to be nothing, when it could actually be something?

Please explain it to me! $:\$
