How will you know if someone does the dare he/she was supposed to do?

Truth!

[m1469]

Truth!

Ok, I will be extremely gentle.  Do you wish you had a beard?

[stravinskylover]

Ok, do you wish you had a beard?

Definitely not. I hate beards!

[m1469]

Definitely not.

Ok, whoever shows up next, you ask them truth or dare!

Can I ask you?

Yeah, OK.  Truth.

[stravinskylover]

Are there any banned questions?

Anyway, my actual question is who is your least favorite pianist?

You know what, I'll change that to "who is your favorite pianist?"

[m1469]

I enjoy different pianists for different reasons, but there are some general characteristics that carry over between the ones I have enjoyed the most, although they are still very individual players/people to me. 
 
The pianists I have chosen to listen to the most repeatedly and in-depth are Marik, and Alexandre Dossin.  Gould is somebody I will listen to, Horowitz, Richter, Brendel.  I had a time of listening repeatedly and in-depth to Mark Westcott.  And then I've listened to numerous others, of course.  But, I am a person who actually does not listen to music in general very much - a little bit goes a very long way for me, so it's a very big deal for me to listen to somebody repeatedly.  I am extremely particular about what I listen to overall, of anything, and often prefer silence or listening to the world around me.  Sometimes if I can't sleep, there are particular things I'll listen to.

Make a really terrible short improvisation and post it to Audition Room's improv section, asking for serious feedback. Let it stay there at least 24 hours before you say it's not serious.

[theholygideons]

Now what?

Loooolll... Aren't you the same guy who did Islamey with the thumbs?
next dare should be playing revolutionary etude in octaves up to speed, mate.

Wow I'm sooo glad I'm not the only one with such a messy room!!!  My mum keeps telling me I'm the only one!  And that is the truth!

Actually this is my parents doing lol.

I'm away at school for several months so they think they can just throw whatever they want on there.

[cabbynum]

Rach you weren't going fast enough....

Honestly I did not know I could do 50 pushups. I guess not working out for over a year caught up with me...

Hey, but i still wanna see rachy suffer.

[cabbynum]

Hey, but i still wanna see rachy suffer.

Dude it was really hard. I didn't realize how much muscle I had lost.
Because I already did it I give Rach a modified challenge.

25 or till fail. Handstand push-ups (you can use a wall) and then play the first two pages of the scarbo

[j_menz]

Hey, but i still wanna see rachy suffer.

Go watch him skate. 

[rachmaninoff_forever]

Go watch him skate.  

I rolled my left ankle again.

And got it on camera!

I kept trying it until I landed it though.

THEN I went to the doctors office.






Yeah yeah guys, I got you tomorrow or something.

And I hope you know I can just turn down the volume on the piano right?

When these guys do a version 2, can I send them your number?

[Bob]

You don't need ankles really for piano playing. A stump will do to operate the pedals.
