According to Wikipedia this is a howler: Wittgenstein died and was buried
in Cambridge. Still. Robert's point holds.

Montreal were spent listening to the Soviet Army and Chorus Band, Yulya,
and
Mario's croonings. Of which I recall most clearly his *O Sole Mia* and
*Arrivederci Roma.* Sniff. But then came the British Invasion, and the
rest is
history ...

P.S. It must not go unsaid - or not - that for many people under the age
of 30,
the titles of those 2 songs by Mario are understood to be names of pizzas
available from Dominos.
Quoting Mike Geary <jejunejesuit.geary2@xxxxxxxxx>:
So Ludwig only put in 62 years? Hell, he was a piker. I wonder if couldcan
he whistle. I admire most men who can whistle a happy tune. Or Dixie --
it doesn't have to be a happy tune. But more mostly I admire women who
whistle. By doing that they tell the whole of the human race to go towho,
hell. Got to admire that. I wish I were a woman so that I could be a
real, honest to God feminist and not an imitation one. O well, we are
what, where, why, and when we are. If this computer could print musical
notes I would whistle a tune for you -- something by Mario Lanza -- how
about "On the Street Where You Live"? I know that one perfectly. But
alas, male or female, we are limited to words in such venues. What a
paltry world we live in.
