    Who is my next of kin?

    I am not familiar with British law. Here in Germany all your children inherit your property and all children will inherit equally. Arranging your funeral might be your partner's business, maybe assisted by your eldest child and your parents. I strongly recommend to settle all questions long...

    Has anybody here had a DNA test done?

    "Irish DNA" ? This is a joke, isn't it? As far I understand Ireland - although being an island - never has been separated from the rest of the world. Over the centuries migrants from all over Europe and other parts of the globe have settled in Ireland. The Irish population is not a large...

    The 500 year old question

    I definitely say NO: It would be much too painful to see people passing away - in particular people who I love and admire. It's hardly to bear that parents go first - but that's quite natural. However, to see children, even grandchildren, all you friends and lovers go before you quit the stage...

    Can You Play A Musical Instrument To A Reasonable Degree ?

    Please tell what is about these grades? I guess it is about passing an examination. Does one have to attend a course, lecture, some kind of a musical education before? Can amateur musicians get 'graduated'? Does it ever make sense for an amateur musician undergoing some sort of assessment?

    Can You Play A Musical Instrument To A Reasonable Degree ?

    I have played guitar for almost 30 years. However, I'm not doing it on a level you might expect from a 30 year's experience. I'll never will become a true master on guitar because I began playing in my early thirties (i.e. much too late) and there is never enough time for intensive rehearsals...

    New song and video recorded out in the desert. Feedback welcome

    To be honest - I really like it. Your voice is wonderful - suits well to this song. Melody, chords are great. To include some kind of bridge (short guitar solo, some drums with the body of your accoustic) could bring some diversion to it as is a quite long peace of music and a number of...

    Would you take your wife's name?

    My individual family name is just a name given to me - nobody asked me ever to love or to hate it. Founding a family of my own was a deliberate decision met by me and my wife. We did not care who's name is going to get our familiy name. Really important to me and my wife was to have the same...

    London's current jazz scene

    Here in Germany is much talking about a young and lively jazz scene in London. As I currently haven't got a chance to dive into that scene more deeply, has anyone got some suggestions what to listen or watch? names (of bands and/or musicians), albums, life sessions (youtube) ...

    What makes a novel great

I guess a lot people will consider this book a great novel ranking among the most important fictional writings of the late 20th century. While...

    Things you've noticed as you're getting older?

    This is what concerns me most, also - seemingly a year has less than 365 days, a day less than 24 hours, ...
