If I transpose it into the key of D does it then become something?

Or possibly A minor.

In any case your piano needs no black keys if you are playing nothing

NOTHING



Aloha,
Don

The composer may be anonymous, but I have it on good authority that Bo Legg recorded it.

Yes, of course. In fact, if you're playing nothing it doesn't need the white keys either. I think you've hit on something here... a piano with no keys for someone who wants to play nothing. Maybe we could follow it up with a guitar with no strings. (I guess that's been done before... when he was a teenager John Lennon used to carry around a guitar with no strings.)

Hey, "A Guitar with No Strings": sounds like it would make for a good song, reminiscent of Slim Dusty's "A Pub with No Beer."

And a Conservatory major in
Nothing Minor on Air Guitar.

I've got plenty of NOTHING
And NOTHINGS plenty for me...

Regards, Paul

Maybe we could turn out a NOTHING album. The cover would be completely blank. No, I guess that's been done before. They would call it the "White Album". Okay, so we would go one further: the cover would be transparent and there wouldn't be an album in there. Alternatively we could put a blank album in there without a hole in the middle.

It MUST be a Black album of nothing.

Black albums sound better,
all steelers know that!

David; Wouldn't that be something like a BLACK HOLE ?? Where's my Carl Sagan book when I need it...it was full of NOTHINGS as I recall.

Regards, Paul

BTW: Not to be confused with SWEET NOTHINGS which was a song by Brenda Lee !!

Black Holes are HUGE piles of somethings squeezed into the size of nothing

A question for the ages.
Is nothing black or white?


1. Black is the absence of color (and is therefore not a color)

Explanation:
When there is no light, everything is black.
Test this out by going into a photographic dark room. There are no photons of light.
In other words, there are no photons of colors.

2. White is the blending of all colors and is a color.

Explanation:
Light appears colorless or white.
Sunlight is white light that is composed of all the colors of the spectrum.
A rainbow is proof.
You can't see the colors of sunlight except when atmospheric conditions
bend the light rays and create a rainbow.
You can also use a prism to demonstrate this.

Fact:
The sum of all the colors of light add up to white.

This is additive color theory.

This will answer then confuse the whole matter.

A black hole is something, so much of something
that it sucks up all light around it,
so it appears black even if it has all colors
sucked up together. We just can see them because they can't escape.

Now I get it, Don Kona Woods, that is the sheet music to:

"NOTHING IS THE COLOUR OF MY TRUE LOVE'S HAIR"

It's in the key of C and can be played in the time of one's own choosing. _____clever!

So Nothing is Legato.

Well we can now lay this to rest !! The TV just said:

Today Is National NOTHING Day !!

What more could we ever hope for...

Regards, Paul

If anyone would like to email me at afbrookes@aol.com I'll send him a copy of my parody of Black is the Color. I'm not going to post it in this thread because it has bawdy lyrics (as do most traditional English songs) and could get the thread closed...

How much does it cost ? I'll send it for NOTHING.

Aww, you beat me to the punch!
But even though I shouldn't really be saying this:
HAPPY NOTHING DAY!!
Everything there is to know about this day, which the amount of information is very close to nothing can be found here: http://holidayinsights.com/other/nothingday.htm

I have heard nothing but raves over this new creative composition of NOTHING!

It is amazing how NOTHING has taken off. On the other hand NOTHING is impossible if you have faith

Just look what faith in NOTHING has done.

Aloha,
Don

Socrates would debate the moral implications of nothing.

Plato would seek to define nothing.

Aristotle would seek to describe nothing.

Me, I'm still waiting on my wife to tell me what to think!

Joe laments,

Me, I'm still waiting on my wife to tell me what to think!

Now I feel your pain, Joe!
Have courage!

Aloha,

"I before E except after C . . . Weird?"

I before e except after c, or when sounded like a as in neighbor and weigh __ still weird.

Joe, I tried to make some sense of this, but came up with nothing.

You have a neighbor, but I have a neighbour.

I learned it this way, Rick:

I before E except after C and sometimes W or Y.

Oh the anomalies of English grammar.

Joe, I tried to make some sense of this, but came up with nothing.

Great! Mission accomplished.
