Part of the reason may lie in the close overlay between music and medicine. A high proportion of doctors seem to play instruments

OTOH, a high proportion of musicians aren't doctors.

But he divides the causes into five groups: poisoning, infection, cardiovascular disease, kidney disease and miscellaneous.

At least he's covering his bases with that miscellaneous.

He’s working with Elvis and Michael at a Dairy Queen in Iowa.

This may be of interest to the folks on the Classical Music Ping List, so... PING!

If you want on or off this list, let me know via FR e-mail.

Thanks!

Actually, Mozart’s body was exhumed (this is how they know all this stuff) but, when his coffin was opened, they found Mozart erasing his music scores.

“Amadeus,” they cried, “what are you doing?”

“Decomposing,” he replied.

Old joke, but I couldn’t resist!

Hope it brought everyone a smile.

I notice that “medical malpractice” wasn’t included!

He died because Antonio Solieri killed him. Wasn’t anyone
paying attention? (I’ll betcha can’t keep Tom Hulce’s laugh
out of your head the rest of the day.)

That was a great movie. (Lapsing into geezer mode) I don’t know why they don’t make ‘em like that any more.

Why does the subject arouse such intense interest?

Um, he was only 35 years old and he was the greatest compsoer of all time. . Can someone come up with a stupider question?
