Mistaken ID

Well done, but he obviously doesn't appreciate humour:))

Don't think Shakespeare was a very happy chap, but neither was Beethoven I guess ;) Can't blame Ronnie for the mix up, these depressed men all look-a-like! Great match again!

Nice idea Ronnie. Perhaps he didn't appreciate German music (an endless story)

I am embarrassed. While all civilized people, have read Mr. Shakespeare's works, I have only seen the films. However, I know the saying: Something rotten in Denmark's land. Would be Hamlet, or am I wrong. Mr. Bethovenin music is almost as familiar. Picture of the idea is funny.

Ronnie, what he said was "Let there be no noise made, my gentle friends;
Unless some dull and favourable hand
Will whisper music to my weary spirit.
in Henry IV when he was asking for "Stay" by by "Shakespeare's Sister", that's why he's grumpy.

Great choice of using gramophone player( as it produces perfect sound) ....is it in working condition ?

He's looking a little bug-eyed there. Perhaps try something else!

Very interesting idea and very well done. I love the color verdigris bust of Shakespeare and the recognizable yellow in the center of the vinyl discs...

Perhaps you should have tried playing him the 5th or something by William Beethoven !
Superbly done made me chuckle : )

Very funny, :))

nice shot
i like it

Ha! They all wore those faces back then.. yes? Can you imagine what a creative genius a Ludwig von Shakespeare would have been?!

Nothing seems to make him smile pity his work is superb!! Superb as always :) Good day.

His lips may not be smiling..but there's a twinkling in his eye that tells me he's enjoying this. FUN!

"Music to hear, why hear'st thou music sadly?"

Aha a comedy of errors here
I fear

Oh ...Did you get a smile ...? Great composition !

William Beethoven would be of no further help, I guess.

Excellent composition! I like it!:)

I don't know how you think of these ideas (there are quite a few seascapes I'm afraid, but you can come back again mid Jan for portraits!).

Maybe some Renaissance music?

Very good idea, great composition !

Cracks me up! Maybe old Bill would prefer some hip-hop?

Har Har ... once you've seen one bust, you've heard them all!

Nice shot
:)

Wonderful idea Ronnie!
Really nice and beautiful, great atmosphere in this image.

Hmmm- I thought it was Christoper Columbus discovering some "new" music.....

Certainly there are people who have no sense of humor ... always seeming annoyed!

du classique

It does not matter what you play - as long as you do - after all, "the play's the thing." Maybe he would smile if you just gave him a "fifth" to drink.

Super compo et iamge superbe avec le disque mangigique iamge et cette statue sueprbe compo.

Bravo et amitié

The facial expression is, indeed, quite interesting! However, seeing the LP record brings music to my soul without even having to hear anything...just as well, I am deaf as a post, anyway. This is a great conversation starter :-)

Brilliant....and do you like a cold stony smile Ronny ;-) I DONT ;-)

ROFL..... Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio: a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy: he hath
borne me on his back a thousand times; and now, how abhorred in my imagination it is! Well done you two! ;-)))

Exquisite humor ... congratulations on a sensible dialogue presentation and sharp! Best regards, Adela

ahh, ludwig von shakespeare, the favourite painter for all of us, real art experts...

Try a little Rihanna or Black Eyed Peas to shake the old boy up.

well done!!

hihi .. you put a smile on my face, ronnie! :-))

This put a smile on my face! You are too funny! I loved it!

Terrific. Always a smile to be had at your site.

Nice composition. Brilliant theme !!!

An easy mistake to make Mr Ronnie - all these old fella's look the same;))))

Now, if Will had been listening to Beethoven, I wonder what sort of plays he'd have written? :OD

Hey, wasn't Beethoven deaf at the end anyway?

Lol, happens all the time. Very funny!

Once again , a little smile. The idea nicely presented.

Lui rien ne le fera sourire ! Jolie composition ! Je te souhaite une agréable journée

JP

excellent shot

Ah, j'adore ce dialogue de sourd..! ;-)))

Splendid symphony and beautiful text for this shot

Sounds like Ronnie's efforts were a bit Pathetique!

:-))) very funny !!

:))))
hey I like this conversation very much
so funny :D

It's the hair.

All great men's busts or statues look rather melancholic, but never do they resemble the real men..Why, if we think of Will and his plays....he must have been all sorts of people in one man! While for Ludwig van B. life was a misery, music was his paradise (never lost), a very complicated man...otherwise he wouldn't have composed such music!!!!

These are wonderful lines...and so funny! Great stuff today and a picture to match!

A famous portrait !

Fantastic presentation and beautiful photos! Very funny as well!

What's in a name?

hehe funny! They´re not contemporaries as well I guess! Great framing!

Wonderful shot ! great frame and composition.

A common mistake, Ronnie! Is that turn table almost as old as Shakespeare?

This is wonderful! The dialougue made me laugh out loud. :)

Great images !

Great shots! I'm sure the music at least put a smile on your faces!

two true giants for sure ... they go together particularly well ... DAH-DAH-DAH-DAAAAAH !!!

In France said, the music soothes the soul!
The bust is beautiful.

hahaha! A rose by any other name would... in this case sound as sweet! Magnificent work as always, L&R!!!

Great composition. Really nice!

try a little Bon Jovi : "perchance, are we half way there, why yes, living on thy prayer ..."

splendid !!!!!!. a kiss. Alejandra

:) had so much fun reading how other members feel about this one! :)
Both of my parents play piano and made us, kids play it too!.... grew up with this type of music but must say that my girls are not familiar with it :(

Wonderful idea. Great composition and interesting conversation.
Agree with Sylvie ... yes, the music soothes the soul. Very nice, Ronnie. Love it :)

another one of your great creative diptych

Excellent! Judging from his eyes, I think he is drunk.

What is that big flat black thing with the funny looking arm on it???
Just kidding....actually I much prefer the warmth of vinyl over CD's any day! Cool shot...maybe he'd smile if you put on a little David Bowie. Just sayin' ;)

Looking through your recent images, you always produce excellent work and write genuine comments, thanks Mandy
