Indeed, Dennis. I mentioned that early on; I misspelled it in 1988 because I didn't know any better then. It was still kind of an obscure event. By now it's famous and there are a lot of projects out there named "entartete kunst" or "degenerate art" something or other. So I have decided to keep my incorrect spelling just to distinguish my piece from all of the others. incorrectly yours, David N, Lewis Cincinnati, OH On Thu, Aug 22, 2013 at 1:29 PM, Dennis Rooney <[log in to unmask]>wrote: > Note to correspondents on "Entartete Musik": Your spelling of the adjective > has in some cases left out a syllable [te] that denotes adjectival form. > Just a bit of necessary Beckmesserei. > > DDR > > > On Wed, Aug 21, 2013 at 2:19 PM, Dave Burnham <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > > > Reminds me of the message of the song "Hitler Lives". > > > > db > > > > Sent from my iPhone > > > > On 2013-08-21, at 2:07 PM, Donald Tait <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > > > > > Please accept my congratulations too.
