It there a website that has a toll free number where you can order Sitars? You know those Indian Guitar things? That George Harrison played? Ha, ha. Thanks. Moptopstyle1 05:35, 7 December 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Moptopstyle1 ( talk • contribs)
Well, at MusiciansFriend.com, it's a weird looking "Guitar Sitar". Oh, but at tablasitar.com it has them! Thank you. Moptopstyle1 21:55, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
As Joseph Pulitzer stated, the three most important things in reportage are "accuracy, accuracy, and accuracy." The same is, of course, true for Wikipedia articles. Being sure of one's sources is critical, and the internet has rather low reliability. This was driven home for me when doing research to expand an article which I wrote and maintain, and I came across a number of sites that were verbatim copies of what I had written. Although my article was well-researched and correct, the ease with which misinformation can be spread on the net is frightening. The point of this prologue is that I implore that anyone who answers my question will supply a valid source for the information.
I refer to the article on Veronica Lake.
Okay, so where was she born? B00P ( talk) 03:15, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
Hm. The article currently reads When she was about one year old, the family moved to Florida but returned to Seattle before she was five. Did they live in Seattle once, but moved to Florida and then back to Seattle, or was this the first time they'd ever been in Seattle? It's kind of confusing. 99.166.95.142 ( talk) 17:21, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
hi! i would like to listen to one of the songs in the club scene (@53th minute including commercials), after walter says "prepare the table, agent farnsworth" (or similar) and the syphilis-guy says "thank u" (the song says "about u" quite often, i think...) (the fbi gurl asks "have u found something?" (or similar) and peter says "not yet - i got her" (or similar))... who can say the name of the song? and its artist...? thx. bye. -- Homer Landskirty ( talk) 03:47, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
Does Guitar Center just MATCH the lowest price advertised, or will they actually LOWER it? I'm looking at this Gretsch 5120, and on most sites it goes for $699, and that price is also on Guitarcenter.com So, is that the only price they'll stay at, or will it go even cheaper to be the "Guaranteed Lowest Price" ? 05:47, 7 December 2009 (UTC)Moptopstyle1 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Moptopstyle1 ( talk • contribs)
And also, I CAN'T SIGN TALK PAGES! For real! I Click the "Moptopstyle1 05:49, 7 December 2009 (UTC)" things, and it doesn't work! Sorry, it just won't except it? Any other ideas for me to sign? Watch it won't take it! Moptopstyle1 05:49, 7 December 2009 (UTC) I signed it and it won't work! Moptopstyle1 05:49, 7 December 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Moptopstyle1 ( talk • contribs)
Never mind about the signing my talk pages. Jayron32 figured it out for me. But does anyone know the answer to the Guitar Center question? Moptopstyle1 ( talk) 06:03, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
Hello friends, There is an instrumental song in the documentary called I.O.U.S.A.. If you watch the 30 -minutes, Byte-Sized version here, it begins at 8:46 and lasts for around one minutes. I've searched extensively, but to no avail. Any help would be much appreciated.```` —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jerjacques ( talk • contribs) 06:53, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
There's a string-quartet song in the latest episode of 30 Rock that I'm really hankering for. It starts at 19:27. Many thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jerjacques ( talk • contribs) 07:06, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
Someone sent me a midi (new to me!) and I can click on it and play it on my computer. Can I transfer it to play it on a CD? If so, how? I am an elderly ignoramus so please don't use too much jargon! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jetolan ( talk • contribs) 11:20, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
Thank you, Pleasantman. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jetolan ( talk • contribs) 22:14, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
Thank you, Norwegian Blue - very clear instructions. If I can't manage it it will be entirely my own incompetence!
Ghana national football team says Brazil 8-2 Ghana 1996-03-27, with references for that score, but not mentioning if it's Ghana's biggest loss. Bulgaria national football team says Bulgaria 10–0 Ghana 1968-10-02 with no references at all. Contradiction pointed out via OTRS. -- Jeandré ( talk), 2009-12-07t12:38z, -- Jeandré ( talk), 2009-12-07t12:40z
Godard's La Chinoise has this song. Whose song is this? The female voice introduces tonal and rhythmic shift. What do you call this in music? Anything to do with contrapuntal? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Saptharishi ( talk • contribs) 14:26, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
I would like to book John Williams for a future event and need the name/address/phone of his agency in order to make contact. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.74.134.208 ( talk) 20:16, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
Any connection? 78.146.231.126 ( talk) 21:40, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
I wonder what the chances are of Kurosawa seeing SWATSD. Was it distributed in Japan? 78.146.231.126 ( talk) 23:28, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Moptopstyle1 21:53, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
Well, I have asked them if they match prices in China! ha! They said they don't! I wish they did! You can get a Gibson, Seriously, for $200! But, I guess I could ask them. But the nearest Guitar Center is an hour 1/2 away from me. So... Moptopstyle1 22:05, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
What kind of impact did he have on society when he was alive? Moptopstyle1 22:01, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
See The Beatles, John Lennon, Yoko Ono, Imagine (song) for a start. He was a wildly successful performer in a band, had good success as a solo artist and was known to be vocal about his thoughts on all manner of things political. ny156uk ( talk) 23:22, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
