Add a composer game

[Alban Berg]

oops...Igor Stravinsky

[some guy]

Zamboni does not start with "R" (from Vivier); Scriabin starts with neither the illegitimate "I" nor the as yet unused "R" from Vivier. And while Igor starts with "I," Igor is a first name, and the game goes from last name to last name.

Of course, Neil Diamond was equally illegitimate--and that in two ways!

And there have been so many deviations from "the rule" on this thread, that this post of mine is just so much pedantic silliness.

Yep, this thread seems to have veered way off course, so... pretty much anything goes at this point, I guess. To think, at one point posters were supposed to search the thread in order to avoid duplicating a composer's name. Ah, those were the days. lol (more pedantic silliness )
