RANDOM ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA POST
BACH, J.S- orphaned at 10, and then lived with his older brother, who noticed his younger brother's superior talent and tried to supress it, but J.S. managed to get his hands on music his brother tried to hide from him. his brother appears to have died when he was 14, or kicked J.S. out and he had to manage for himself. 1st as a singer, and eventually had his patrons of the dukes and such of the age. he was basically self-taught, and was extremely wonderrful improviser. had 11 sons and 9 daughters. and he started late! his 2nd kid was born when he was 28. at his death, all his compositions were split amogst his sons and may have been lost, but for other composers like mendalson. i think i want to read more on Bach.
BACKGAMMON-origins probably around 10 century. name is either from saxon-baec/back, gamen/game or danish bakke/tray,gammen/game or welsh back/little cammen/battle. the 3 page listing mentions Hoyle rulkes!
BACON, Francis-b1561-16 40's too bloody bored to note date. 17 fucking pages and i slogged through about 8. he was the youngest son of a rich man, but daddy died before he could add him in the will.
was in elizabeth 1s court and was basically king james toady from what i surmise.
BACON, Roger-13 century genius. check him out. wonder if the internets have heard of him.
BACSANY, James- hungarian poet b1763-1845, apparently supported napoleon. was imprisoned for a while and semi house arrest in later years.
like certain things that stick in your head, most of bach from memory.oh well, i really wasn't using trigonometry.
