A stupid question
on: August 11, 2014, 04:50:25 PM
Does anyone here know how to properly pronounce the last name of American composer Christopher Rouse?  I don't know why I can't find this on the internet, but I can't.

Rhymes with "house":

(From 1:45 and further his name is pronounced more than once).
No amount of how-to information is going to work if you have the wrong mindset, the wrong guiding philosophies. Avoid losers like the plague, and gather with and learn from winners only.

Dima is correct.

My quibble is that it's NOT a stupid question. OP needs to try harder!  >:(

There're no stupid questions. Just stupid people.
