    Ok dear ones - this might be an anti-climactic moment for you:

    The organ pictured is the one in Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles and the various exposed pipes and their arrangement have been likened to "French-Fried Forest". I know its a REAL stretch of the imagination but since Disney has been known for its musico/film-matic/family fun fare, I felt it a challenge for MIMFers. Yeah, I know what you are now thinking: "What a horrible dud that Corno Dolce posted - he is a bit *touched* with lunacy.
    *If a man wants God to hear his prayer quickly, then before he prays for anything else, even his own soul, when he stands and stretches out his hands towards God, he must pray with all his heart for his enemies. Through this action God will hear everything that he asks* -Abba Zeno-

    *Protagoras: "Truth is subjective. What is true for you, and what is true for me, is true for me. Your opinion is true by virtue of its being your opinion."

    *Socrates: "My opinion is: Truth is absolute, not opinion, and that you are in absolute error. Since this is my opinion, then according to your philosophy you must grant that it is true."

    Yep, it is amazing - The mad King Ludwig II died two years before this castle was completely finished.

    The correct answer has to do with her, her nudity, and her debut:

    Hmm. Carmen?

    Some piece that I can't think of right now that has to do with Lady Godiva?

    The lady portrayed above was a very famous dancer who became quite wealthy later in life (look at the jewelry on her!). Judging from this painting, she was not in her youth when she posed for the painter. Perhaps this is around the time she greatly supported Ravel when he most needed this support during his terminal illness. In any case, her debut, much earlier, proved scandalous not only because the composer's music was somewhat "modernistic" but mainly because, in the course of this very famous dance in the classical repertoire, she actually was asked to strip naked..... The famous dance was performed earlier in the twentieth century, long before Ravel's Bolero.

    Alright - here's a pure guesstimation - I could be horribly wrong but am willing to learn:

    Salome in the "Dance Of The Seven Veils".

    Correct, CD. Her name is Ida Rubenstein and, for her debut as a dancer, she had to strip completely nude in the course of the Dance of the Seven Veils. Rubenstein also performed in Debussy's Martyre de Saint-Sébastien, Schéhérazade, and Ravel's Boléro.

    Now why didn't I think of that? Well done CD!

    I bet y'all will have no trouble with this one.

    Awww, gee, Thanx Ms. RoJo - I purely guesstimated. I didn't know her name was Ida Rubenstein.

    Ok, I believe the next picture is "The Flying Dutchman".

    Ok, that would work CD. But not what I'm going for here.

    Maybe the ships are distracting...
