What about Alicia Keys? Very accomplished pianist.

(Of course, that's a stage name--fittingly!)

Marilyn vos Savant, an author, columnist and speaker who has record for having scored the highest on an IQ test.

Indeed, I shall bring hazelnuts and cashews, as well. The former seemed to be your favorite! Pistachios, too?

Well, I'll certainly try to be your friend. If you'll let me!

iice, as both you and ikamefa can attest, I've been known to bring snacks for the enjoyment of all. And, those two cakes look delicious! I'll have to bring some freshly brewed tea, or a delicious French-roast coffee for us to enjoy them with!

However long it takes, it will surely be worth it, as long as you continue to grace us with your presence, my dear!  

@iice:
Just wondering, my dear. Is there a particular name that you call that lovely shade in which you post? Is it something like "iice-y purple"? "Chilly magenta" perhaps? Maybe "frosty lavender"?

Regardless, it's quite wonderful!

Personally, I think the pink font adds a nice touch of colour to the thread.

Just my very humble opinion.

"So Far Away" which was written and originally recorded by Carole King, subsequently covered by Rod Stewart.

How wonderful of you to initiate such a thread! Thank you!

I'm certainly doing much better now that I've been in touch with you and iice!

Hmmmm--

I thought 5 things would be more interesting than one, or the usual three. But, if you don't have five things you wish to address, go for a smaller number. I'm OK with that!

Ah! The ever-delightful ikamefa!

My goodness, how long has it been?! ALWAYS so good to hear from you! I trust all has been well with you (iice, in her charmingly chilly way, has kept me apprised of you).

How go thee?

Sooooooooooooo--

Beync, now that you know the rules, how about a sentence?

ekist, I have no idea how your posting relates to this thread. Care to elaborate?

Suppose you were granted the power to change FIVE things about your[/b]self/[b]your life.  What would they be?

This can include anything about yourself (i.e., looks, intelligence, etc.), your life (i.e., birthplace, where you now live, things you said that you regret, things you WISH you'd said but didn't, education, etc.).

And, consider how those changes might have changed the person you are now and the life you're living now.

Who wants to go first?

The first letters of the words in the sentence you construct should correspond to the letters in the word of the posting prior to your own. In other words, the letters for your sentence should have been S P E E D. I'm not sure where you came up with S W A U B. Unless, of course, you're trying to tell us that you are not exactly enthralled with this particular game.

And, all this time I thought this was in reference to a musical artform that I hold near and dear!

The title says it all--let's talk jazz!

Some of us just can't get enough jazz!

What's new in the field?

Not sure I quite get the gist of this thread. May I ask for a clarification?
