Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin, Liszt, Brahms, Panties...I'm sorry...Schumann, Schubert, Mendelssohn and Bach. Names that will live for ever. But there is one composer whose name is never included with the greats. Why is it that the world never remembered the name of Johann Gambolputty de von Ausfern

The Germans are proud of their cities and their heritage. Maybe it was to keep cousins from marrying?? smile, Dee Ann

Better safe than sorry. My dysfunctional Southern family heritage DOES include first cousins who married.
