Fact

Yanni, who used to have a relationship with (can't think of her name right now...TV's Dynasty blonde lady who fought with Joan Collins all the time and in her younger years, she played Barbara Stanwyck's daughter in that old western TV series, names eludes me...ack!..and I'm telling everyone I'm 52 years old right now...lol!)

....but I digress, just trust me on all that crapola that Max asked in her question about Yanni.

Yanni, once studied in New York. I'll agree he doesn't like the title of New Age muscian.
I'll say Crap, because he studied jazz and not opera.

Crap---Yanni had a hair salon here in San Jose. He wanted to be a hairstylist, but didn't makes it, so he became a muscian.

It's a blustery, but sunny Thusday here in the Pacific Northwest. Hope you FoCers are having a good day and WOO HOO! Survivor is on tonight! :-)

Yesterday's question was:

Did Yanni attend the London Conservatory of Music and compose classical operas before finding New Age musical stardom?

Let's just jump right to your answers. You said:
Fact 7
Crap 10
Some of you thought that Yanni was a musician, but not classically trained. Others thought he was a hairstylist or a chef and just stumbled (I guess) into music. Interesting theories! Well, the Calendar Crooners have this to say about that:

It's crap "Yanni can't even read music. The Greek-born performer and composer is self-taught. He received no formal musical training but did get a psychology degree from the Univesrity of Minnesota. Despite his inability to read or notate music, Yanni does compose all his own works."

So there you have it. Seems like he is some form of a musical savant. Go figure! Oh, and yes he was with Linda Evans for several years, but separated in 1998. I don't believe they were married, however. (She used to be married to John Derek.)

Okay, so after Yanni, where does an FoCer go? Why to Redmond, Washington of course!! Here's the question for Thursday, February 9, 2006 (and it should be an easy one for all you computer-literate FoCers):

Bill Gates is a college dropout.

FACT or CRAP? You decide!
