Yes this thread is really cool!    and all the snails are cool!     
                                       This is a very cool snail!!!    -0|0-@_

And I think some snails are going to get married!!!  I'm not sure, but a snail asked me if I could play something at a wedding    so I've looked and I have found one piece about a snail who is getting married!!!!! it wasn't so easy to find it, because there aren't that many piano pieces about snails... and specially not about snails who are getting married  but I have found it and I have already started learning it today    so when I learn it there will be a snail wedding  and it's a really cool piece!    and I'm already learning a Polka too, so I'll be playing that so the guests will be able to dance  

(and what was really cool too is that when I found that snail wedding piece I looked at the notes and tried to imagine how it sounds... and I could!!!!    I knew what the melody was before I tried playing it!!!  I didn't think I could do that! we were trying that at music theory too, but i was never so sure...) well I hope I learn to play it soon so there will be a snail wedding!!!!!!!!!!

You know Die Walkerie well. BTW as much I love opera, Die Walkerie is the worst opera ever. The overture is very unsophistocated. No Offense Not only that but is followed by a recitatave that is long and puts you to sleep. here is a link to the overture so you can see how bad it is

Well the snail is now hiding in a cave because it's raining really a lot. And he is watching the rain and thinking about everything and waiting for the rain and wind to go away. 
And here also the background music (and video)      (It's boring! just a baby piano piece  that littletune played  - so don't watch if you don't like baby piano pieces and stupid videos!! - it's a video that littletune wanted to make for the snail so he won't feel all alone and forgotten!    and it's played two times, first time the way it's in the sheet music the second time littletune's way  - just a little differently with the left hand - so it's more like being in a boat and in water  oh and the end too  oh and there also wasn't any dynamic markings at all  so that's just littletune's way too    ) so here it is for the snail!

[go12_3]

Littletune,     I listened and don't think it's a baby piano piece...sometimes the little
pieces can have the most profound notes and feelings into it.  It is how you played it that
makes it special.      Thank you for sharing

[Bob]

A little more realistically, I think the snails would have to work together and all sit on one side of the log.  If they actually got it to spin, it would move too fast for them to actually stay on the top.  They'd probably end up going around on it, hanging on for dear life.  If they got it to spin.  If they were intelligent enough to work together and had the desire to make a log roll.

Oh just in case anyone wants to know what snail wedding song sounds like 
The title is: Polž se je pa ženit šel  (and it's a folk song and it by M. Tomc). And "polž" means snail, and I can't translate everything exactly but it's kinda like A snail went to get married

Oh that's where it went.  That was supposed to be the beard but it disappeared when I copied it over.
