5 Unknown Fact Tag

This is interesting. Sugarrae challenged me and 4 others to reveal 5 hitherto unknown facts about myself. Then I am supposed to "tag" 5 others to do the same, in a chain letter blog virus. I'll play along. 1. I'm adept at music theory. While my major subject in University was Fine Art (visual), at the same time I completed a minor in Music, with emphasis on composition, theory, and electroacoustics. Yes you can ask me what a half-diminished chord is or how to resolve a Neapolitan 6th, I know how to do pmn-analysis on a Bach fugue and I could whup your butt at generating tones with Fourier synthesis. 2. My first job was working retail at The Scout Shop, a little store at the Boy Scouts headquarters selling uniforms, badges, books, camping equipment, etc. 3. My favourite piece of classical music is Ravel's Gaspard De La Nuit. It's also (debatably) the most challenging piece ever written for the piano and I've been practicing and trying to play it for about 25 years. 4. Before blogs were invented, I was an early contributor to the half bakery. Identity revealed! I am gonzola. All of those are my own stupid inventions, except for Vinyl ROM which was an idea by my wacky brother Rob. 5. I'm culinarily adventurous - I'll eat just about anything, but I have two aversions: 1) I'll refuse anything that has gravy on it and anything that has too much cinnamon on it. It's not like I'm allergic or that I'd get all upset if I was served either, but I just don't like the taste of them very much. Now who shall I tag? Seems like most of the SEO crowd is infected, but here are some who are either untagged or not playing martinibuster randfish zeldman dave shea sponder ... you're it!
