William Lake posted this notation on 21 May 2013 in Dnt Undrstnd but I still cannot identify it as anything musical so it must be On Topic as NOTHING...right ?

not only do I not know nothing, I don't even suspect nothing !

It's nothing, Paul, but it repeats.

122 pages of NOTHING now that's amazing and the end product is also NOTHING.
AMAZING

I actually bought a tenor to play the flute lick from Canned Heat's `Going Up The Country`.

Arch.

"Going Up the Country" is virtually a cover of the song "Bull Doze Blues" recorded by Henry Thomas in the late 1920s, the flute solo taken note by note from the original.[2] Thomas accompanied himself on guitar and quills, an early Afro-American instrument similar to panpipes. The melody that Thomas played on the quills was reproduced on the flute by multi-instrumentalist Jim Horn for the recording of "Going Up the Country".

Who said you learn nothing here!

Of the first 10 threads in Humor, Roy Heap has 7 ! Is that significant or NOTHING ??

It means that he has a sense of humour.

Nothing beats it.

It also means, Roy, that you open up the "Humor" section to see if there's anything there you haven't seen before, so you, too, must have a sense of humour.

Oops. I forgot, this isn't the anything page.

Is there a difference between nothings? Is some nothing, more than other nothings, and what about less nothings being less than more nothings. I am confused about more nothing and less nothing. This thread is about nothing...right? But is it about more or less nothing???

Well there's more-or-less nothing in most posts.

Alan now I am really confused.

Not to worry, Harold !! Think NOTHING of it...it's normal for this thread !!

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Ventured nothing, gained nothing...

Even poor old Tom Jones once sang "I who have NOTHING"

Doing book research, I find my something (sorry) from King Lear:

Fool: Mark it, nuncle.
Have more than thou showest,
Speak less than thou knowest,
Lend less than thou owest,
Ride more than thou goest,
Learn more than thou trowest,
Set less than thou throwest;
Leave thy drink and thy whore,
And keep in-a-door,
And thou shalt have more
Than two tens to a score.

Earl of Kent: This is nothing, fool.

Fool: Then 'tis like the breath of an unfeed lawyer- you gave me nothing for't. Can you make no use of nothing, nuncle?

Lear: Why, no, boy. Nothing can be made out of nothing.

Let's rewrite the song...

It don't mean NO thing, if you ain't got that swing...

I once worked with a guy who had a live-in girlfriend named Caroline. He would sit at his desk singing "Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina in the morning..."

Alan: Macon, GA has 2 trolley/buses for festivals...one is named Caroline and the other Melissa for famoius songs. One is called SWEET but I'm not sure which one any more...it's probably NOTHING !

Welll Alan,
Every time I open my wallet I have to break into that Song " I've got plenty of NOTHING.

...and NOTHING's plenty for Me !!

Well, "There's NOTHING like a Dame ".

...that is anything like a dame !!

Ain't it Ole Man River who gots NOTHING to do...?
