As a toddler visiting a farm, (Mozart) heard a pig squeal and..."identified it as a G Sharp". After a single hearing of a sacred piece in the Sistine Chapel, (Mozart)..."wrote it down from memory". (Mozart) once composed a piano piece, that to be performed correctly, required the use of..."two hands and the nose". (Mozart) would sometimes compose symphonies..."while playing billiards". Scholars believe that "A Musical Joke by (Mozart) was..."a requiem for his pet bird". (Mozart) once wrote a waltz in which the choice of measures played was determined..."by the roll of two dice". Feeling humble? I know I do...

So I joined the Raccoon Lodge instead. From the hallowed streets of Greenpernt, To the shores of Sheepshead Bay, From the Verrazano Narrows, To Canarsie across the way... We have come together, one and all, In fellowship to commune, And to glorify the Grand Exalted Brotherhood of Raccoons. I hope some day to be their Grand High Exhalted Mystic Ruler.
