I've just had a breakthrough uncovering relatives of Johann Sebastian Bach. It turns out there were more children and relatives of the great master in the US.

Thanks to Elinor Frey for discovering:

L.O.L. Bach (Loretta Oprah Lorraine) "Laughing Daughter"

O.M.G. Bach (Otto Michael Gottfried) "Pious son"

W.T.F. Bach (Wilhelmine Trombette Friederica) "Inquisitive daughter"

There turns out other relatives included:

A.F.K. Bach (Alfred Friedrich Koppel) "Composed away from the clavier"

B.F.F. Bach (Bartholomew Friedemann Francis) "Trusted friend"

B.R.B. Bach (Brunnhilde Rachel Barbara) "The travelling sister"

B.W.V. Bach (Baptiste Wilhelm Viet) "Genealogical brother"

C.Y.A. Bach (Catharina Yetta Augusta) "Much adieu daughter"

N.O.O.B. Bach (Noah Oren Ornette Bernhard) "Unexperienced cousin"

D.0.0.D. Bach (Dietrich something something Donner) "City slicker whose middle initals appear to be zeros"

P.W.N. Bach (Phillip Wotan Nicholas) "Wealthier and arrogant uncle"

S.N.A.F.U. Bach (Sebastian Nibelung Altnikol Froh Ubung) "Always wrong bungling cousin"

T.E.H. Bach (Theodore Edward Hermann) "The dyslexic brother"

There is more advice here if you run across these or other composers in concert and want to txt someone! Also, Dr. Dick's out of sight car! And you can always have a laugh with our friend Peter Schickele at the PDQ Bach website!

New Music Research

I've decided to embark on a new study for new music and kissing, after reading these facts/study. Females wishing to participate should contact me directly: by email, phone or simply blowing softly in my ear.*
(I'll be seeking funding for a follow-up study of eskimo kissing and new music.)

From the Albany Times Union:
-The science of kissing is called philematology.
-Researchers theorize that human kissing started as a way for mothers to feed their infants, by chewing food and transferring it to their babies' mouths.
-16 muscles converge at the lip area, but a passionate kiss activates all 34 facial muscles.
-Freud believed kissing was the subconscious return to infancy and suckling a mother's breast.
-Ninety percent of the world practices kissing, but some cultures do not, including the Papuans of New Guinea and the San of southwest Africa.
-While the number varies, the Kinsey Institute says 6.4 calories are burned during a one-minute kiss.
-The Kama Sutra describes 20 different types of kissing, including the Throbbing Kiss, in which the lower lip trembles.
-Bonobo apes engage in deep tongue kissing, and chimpanzees frequently kiss to make up after a fight. Snails rub their antennae together, and great blue herons clap their bills.
-A 2006 British study found that people who lean left while kissing tend to be emotionally less available than those who lean to the right.
-A 2007 British study that compared brain scans of men and women while eating chocolate and kissing, found that chocolate was twice as stimulating as kissing for women.

*Results may not be posted because we all know I don't kiss and tell.

Scores may include Stravinsky's Fairy's Kiss, and I'll remind participants I live less than 15 miles from Hershey, PA - the sweetest place on earth!
