Post a Surprising Musical Fact.

There are three main types of augmented sixth chords, commonly known as the Italian sixth, the French sixth, and the German sixth.

The Italian sixth (It+6 or It6 or ♯iv6) is derived from iv6 with an altered fourth scale degree. This is the only augmented sixth chord comprising just three distinct notes; in four part writing the tonic pitch is doubled.

The French sixth (Fr+6 or Fr4 3) is similar to the Italian, but with an additional tone. The notes of the French sixth chord are all contained within the same whole tone scale lending a sonority common to French music in the 19th century (especially associated with impressionistic music)


The German sixth (Ger+6 or Ger6 5) is also like the Italian, but with an added tone.
In Classical music, however, it appears in much the same places as the other variants, though perhaps less often because of the contrapuntal difficulties outlined below. It appears frequently in the works of Beethoven, and in ragtime music. The German sixth chord is enharmonically equivalent to a dominant seventh chord though it functions differently.

Before which, he demonstrated keyboards in Swans music shop on Oldham St.
And at weekends played alongside a drummer (John Wrigley) backing the "turns" at Christ The King Catholic Club. (Think Phoenix Nights for real)
He still plays and records with Dare now. Lives in North Wales, in a country house hotel his missus runs, where he also has a studio.
Through Darren I met Lynott several times ... one of which I told him that being born in West Bromwich and brought up in Dublin he was bound to be a rag, to which he called me a "Blue ****"... which I am proud of.

Lol..No stranger to the Phoenix Nights bit...My dad was a resident drummer in various pubs and clubs over the years. Whereabouts in North Wales is his hotel?
 
Marilyn Mason, Prince and I think Iggy Pop all had rib(s) removed in order to be able to give themselves blow job's.

Obviously all lacking in the trouser department WAHEY!

Prince didn't need to have any ribs removed, he was always able to suck his own cock...He loved himself.

Are the others true or were they music industry rumours?
Either way heard it somewhere when I was younger

He lived in Failsworth up the rd from me when I lived there and went to Partington street and Brierley ave.
Simon Wright lived close by (near Mani from the roses) and ended up in ac/dc.
