My SAT Math score was 780. I didn't get in to Caltech. (780=1 wrong) Mine was 740 and I did get in. I also flunked out three years later. I survived. Okay okay ... a joke... Rumor (fantasy perhaps) has it that there is a long break in the third movement of Beethoven's Ninth for the bass players. So the custom during rehearsals for the bass players of one local orchestra was to tie a string around the score to hold their places, and step backstage for a little spirited refreshment. Comes time for the bass part in the third movement, and the conductor looks up to see the bass section missing. Naturally he was concerned. After all, it was the bottom of the ninth, the scores were tied, and the bassists were loaded. -- Mojo ...
