Musea Art Contest 11/08/05 Win first anti-band cd with originals by zinester

[musea/Tom Hendricks/H&PD]

In songwriting - melody is back!

The answer to, and winner (if any) for,
our last contest question of:

Before the mid 1800's American pencils
were 'greasy, gritty, brittle, inefficient' -
a mess. This noted man of letters went to work for
his dad and invented a clay graphite mix that
made these US pencils some of the best in
the world. Name him

WAS: Henry David Thoreau who made
Thoreau & Company Pencils among the best
in the world. Later Thoreau would leave his
fathers business to go to Walden Pond. When
he did Ralph Waldo Emerson was outraged and
said, "Instead of engineering for all America
he was the captain of a huckleberry-party."

I had no correct answers. No one got the lead
out on this one!

I don't
dumb down,
so please
wise up.

Now on to a new Q.:
Win a copy of my NEW CD
CALLED '30'!!!!!! -
(first anti-band CD)
if you
are the first to e-mail me at
tomhend...@cs.com
with the correct answer
to this art question*:

The first artist to sell a million was
Enrico Caruso, the great operatic tenor,
in 1903 with Vesti La Giubba from the
opera Pagliacci.
Now name the first CLASSICAL ALBUM
to sell a million!

Good luck puzzlers!
