Re: Famous Dutch Composers, #347

No, he wasn't Dutch. According to my sources, Nzzzzkzzzlzzzzzzz Grrrrrbzzzzglkkng was one of the better known composers to have come from Liechtenstein, back when it was a world power in the 16th century. Grrrrrbzzzzglkkng was also an admiral in the Liechtenstein navy, where he commanded many slave-labor galleys. His music was considered quite 'modern' and 'exotic' for his era. Perhaps his best known work, the Motown Motet written for the famous galley caller Ssssmmmkkkkkzzzzzzzzzz Rrrrrrrbbbbbbbbbbnnnnnzzzzzzzznnnnn. Unfortunately, his career came to an abrupt halt when British Admiral Sir George Szzzzzzzzzzzzolti launched a naval invasion using his new invention, the Very Loud brass cannon, which resulted in Grrrrrbzzzzglkkng's dismissal from the navy and subsequent exile. He was last seen wandering the back alleys of Amsterdam's red light district, mutterring something about visions of his music someday being played in the gullets of large metal birds.
