On a more serious note, I would welcome a discussion of the concept of "canon" as applied to a beautiful woman by those of the French persuasion.
I had always assumed that the expression "c'est un canon!", spoken in a "nudge-nudge, you-know-what-I-mean?" tone of voice, was intended to summon up all sorts of phallo-ballistic mental associations. But latterly a French colleague - who markets himself as a bit of a lad - claimed nevertheless that "c'est un canon" is more innocent, and simply implies that the lady (if such she be) is the incarnation of an aristotelian, or even platonic, canon of beauty.
So which interpretation of the gynaecoaesthetic concept of canon is valid?

Guess if you took a measuring tape into a
church and measured the largest organ pipe,
it would give you an approximation.
A weapon of this nature was used to destroy
the walls of Jerico!

Re: Canon
I see you got a lot of frivolous replies. They do make this site interesting. But I'd like to give you a serious answer. I've been trying to play Cannon in D, an working on an arrangement using Fanale Print Music.doubleg wrote:Hey there..
has anyone here tried playing canon with the d whistle? do u think it's possible or is the range very limited? Please comment on this.. Thanks
Pachelbel may not like my arrangement, and purists of any kind certainly will not like it. After all, it isn't Celtic, and this arrangement is pretty simple, but it seems to work.
I'm new on this forum, but have been looking at it for a long time, and haven't seen sheet music posted on the forum - don't know if it follows the rules of the site or not. Surely this would be legal and in the public domain. I saw a piano version posted on Fanale's showcase web site.
I'm prett busy for the rest of this week, and don't have time for scanning and learning how to post it right now. But next week I might be able get try learn how to post it if it is proper and anyone still wants to know.
