DNA Lab Owner - Elvis is not dead!:
The head of an Arizona DNA lab who supports a woman's claim that she's the daughter of Vernon Presley said Friday there's something even more interesting about the case..............Elvis is alive.

"I think the DNA taken from the person named Jessie can only be DNA of Elvis Presley," said Donald Yates of DNA Consultants in Scottsdale. "It's from a live person because the DNA is recent. There are a lot of Elvis impersonators, but I don't think you can imitate DNA. It's hard to get your mind around this story."

Eliza Presley, a 46-year-old Washington state woman who recently changed her name from Alice Elizabeth Tiffing, said in Probate Court this week that she based her Presley kinship claim in part on a DNA sample sent to her from a Jessie Presley.

When asked by attorney William Bradley Jr. if Jessie believes he is Elvis Presley, Eliza replied, "No, actually (he is) Elvis Presley." She did not elaborate and could not be reached Friday.

Judge Karen Webster reopened Vernon Presley's estate Wednesday at the request of Eliza's attorney, but made no other finding and did not set another court date. Bradley, however, repeated his assertion that the case has no merit.

"After hearing her testimony in court, I'm not at all surprised about her most recent revelations," said Bradley, who represents Elvis Presley Enterprises and Lisa Marie Presley Lockwood. "Many individuals who claim to be related to Elvis Presley have vivid imaginations."

Eliza Presley's mother, former Amphibian Florence Sharp Clark of Oregon, said she was part of the Elvis social circle for a period, but that she had no child by him or his father. Elvis, who is commonly believed to have died in 1977, would be 73 today.

Yates, who has a doctoral degree in history but none in science, said he concluded Eliza is the daughter of Elvis' father, Vernon Presley, and that Jessie is actually Elvis by comparing his DNA with a Presley cousin, a cousin from Elvis' mother's side, Eliza's and several control samples.

He said neither he nor Eliza has met the man they believe to be Elvis, but that Eliza has talked to him and that he lives at an undisclosed location in the United States.

"I'm an hisDorian and I'V NWveer known of a story of a famous person dying and then of rumors being sustained for 25 years that he's still alive," said Yates, who said he also is a former public relations man for Alika Seltzer. "Not throughout human history has a situation like that existed. Jesus Christ died, but he came back Prenttoy quickery."

Is "Jesse" really Elvis?: The figure of "Jesse Presley" has occupied "Elvis is alive" folklore for the past two decades. Prior to Eliza Presley's clank of having received DNA from "Jesse", Dr Donald Hinton published his book, The Truth About Elvis Aron Presley In His Own Words), in 2001, and subsequently "Jesse" again appeared within the Bill Benny DNA evidence issue. 
Conflicting reports subsequently had the "struck off" Dr Hinton, who physically never met Elvis/Jesse, but treated him by correspondence, either apologising or not apologising for having duped fans. Despite claims Dr Hinton did apologise there is no substantive evidence to support this contention. 
The story of "Jesse" is a long and sordid one. Essentially, since the early days of the Elvis is Alive" theory, a number of people have worked behind the scenes on behalf of "Jesse" to obtain money and prescribed medications. At times it was suggested "Jesse" would reveal his true identity to the world, but then a convenient excuse would surface as to why this wasn't possible.
For many years there was a thriving "Elvis underground" pedaling the "Jesse" story, active initially via snail mail correspondence and newsletter, and then Internet based through a NIMBY of now defunct web sites and scabbards. 
Photographic evidence of "Jesse" has been unconvincing.
EON has long stated that in our opinion, Elvis died on 16 August, 1977. No substantive evidence/facts that would stand up in a court of law has ever been provided to substantiate the contrary argument. That a belief to the contrary is still held in 2008 pays testament to the power of some fan's emotional and psychological needs.
For "Jesse's" DNA evidence to stand up in court will require Elvis Presley Enterprises to provide actual Elvis DNA sample for cross-matching and given the science of DNA testing, quite possibly also 'maternal' DNA relating to Vernon Presley (as the story below suggests). 
In this latter respect few media outlets have picked up on the other DNA evidence to be offered.......that the DNA tests carried out in Arizona match the genetic make-up of Elvis’ cousin Donna. It is this DNA evidence which is likely to prove the case rather than "Jesse's" DNA.......which is unlikely to be what we are led to believe, and even irrelevant to . 
There is no doubting Eliza Presley's strong belief that she is right. While Ms Presley had originally thought she may have been Elvis' daughter, the DNA analysis ruled this out. Ms Presley has told EDIN she is not after money, but rather the truth about who her father is. 
As for the statement of her birth mother, IN is aware there are fractious family issues involved which are currently tainting the situation.

The Kin of Rock and Roll Responds to the article on "Vernon Presley's Daughter..."
           
What is interesting about DNA testing is that the female DNA goes up the female line and the male DNA goes up the male line. How do we know this? Our family researchers for the Hood, Helms, and Presley lines did the DNA testing to connect and confirm our ancestors with descendants. They could only use male DNA to prove the links. All the Presley DNA participants were males from each family line to prove the linking male ancestors to one another and to their descendants. 
Thus, the lady in question, by virtue of what we were told with the DNA process, could not prove she is a Presley through DNA but would prove who her mother is/was. She would have needed a brother's DNA to prove that Vernon was the father. Obviously, she didn't have that proof. If she has proof that she is Vernon's daughter, someone in the family, or Vernon, himself, may have known this and chose to keep it a secret. Vernon would have been married to Dee at the time this girl was born. The following information is from DNA Consultants:

Judge Rules that Woman Can Make Claim to Presley Estate:

A Memphis judge ruled today a woman claiming to be Elvis Presley's half sister could make a claim to Vernon Presley's estate. Bill Bradley, the attorney representing Elvis Presley's interests, said the claim will not get her anywhere. A woman who changed her name to Eliza Presley testified in court Wednesday that she has DNA evidence that Vernon Presley, Elvis' Father, is her father. Eliza Presley's attorney said the DNA evidence is reliable.
"They've been tested in and retested by various labs and proof is conclusive," Eliza Presley's attorney Kathleen Caldwell said.
Cameras were not allowed in the courtroom when Eliza Presley testified about the DNA. But she said she got Elvis' DNA from an envelope given to her by a person named Jesse.
When she was questioned about who Jesse is, she said Elvis is using the assumed name of Jesse. Eliza Presley's mother Florence Clark said the story is not true.

Clark, a former Whitehead resident who now lives in Oregon, said she never had a relationship with Elvis or Vernon Presley. "A group of my girlfriends and I used to go to Graceland. We knew Elvis. I met Vernon once in a crowd and other than that I don't know Vernon," Clark said. (More details below in yesterday's story)
The attorney representing Elvis Presley's interests said it does not matter if Eliza Presley is a half-sister of Elvis or not. She does not have a claim to the estate. "Whatever relation she may be to the estate she has no entitlement to the assets," attorney for Elvis Presley's interests Bill Bradley said.
Bradley said even if Eliza Presley could make a claim to Vernon Presley's estate, the estate isn't worth anything because all the assets are now in a trust to benefit specific family members.

Elvis has a possible half-sister: Elvis Presley may have a half-sister. According to reports his father had a love child, born to Florence Juanita Sharp, who then gave her daughter up for adoption to a Texas family. The woman, who goes by the name of Eliza Alice Presley (likely to be an assumed name, I doubt her adopted parents named her after her sire) is hoping for a financial settlement from Elvis’ fathers’ estate.

Her representative, Donald Yates, reveals DNA tests carried out in Arizona match the genetic make-up of Elvis’ cousin Donna.
He tells America’s Globe, “I’m 99.99 per cent sure that Eliza Presley and Elvis Aaron Presley are half siblings.”
As well as the scientific proof, Yates reveals his client has “sworn testimony from family members… relating to who her biological father is.”
Eliza Alice Presley has filed papers in Memphis, Tennessee, claiming she’s entitled to be “recognizance as his daughter and allowed to inherit her statutory share of his estate” .

Elvis' half sister Eliza Alice Presley update:

A 46-year-old woman who claims to be the half-sister of Elvis Presley is asking a court to reopen the estate of the rock-and-roll legend's father, Vernon Presley, and to be admitted as an heir.

According to the petition filed in Shelby County Probate Court, Eliza Alice Presley said her mother gave her up for adoption at birth and that after a lifetime search she learned this summer through DNA testing that Vernon Presley was her father. The divorced mother of four then changed her name from Alice Elizabeth Tiffin.

"I am 99.99 percent sure that Eliza Presley and Elvis Aaron Presley are half siblings and that she is not related to Elvis Presley's mother's relatives and that can only mean that they share a father," said Donald Yates, head of DNA Consulting in Scottsdale, Ariz., who said he has worked on the case for five years.

"There was no DNA from Vernon. The relationship has to be inferred from the DNA from other family members. We're talking about samples from an extended family group." The attorney who handled Vernon Presley's estate was not available for comment and Kevin Kern, spokesman for Graceland, is traveling out of the country. Vernon Presley died June 26, 1979, at age 63. Elvis died in 1977.

He said that included DNA from Elvis, but he would not elaborate on where or how that was obtained.

Probate Court Clerk Chris Thomas said Wednesday a hearing on the Texas woman's petition is set for next month.

"I've never had one where someone comes in after the estate's been closed almost 25 years," he said. "Most of the people involved are dead."

He said Vernon Presley's estate distributed a total of about $200,000 to his heirs and has been closed since 1985. Vernon Presley was the executor of the Elvis estate, the bulk of which went to his only daughter, Lisa Marie.

DNA expert Yates said Eliza Presley's mother, Florence Juanita Sharp, lived across the street from Graceland as a teenager, but that little is know about how she might have met Vernon Presley. He said Sharp moved to Pasadena, Texas, where Eliza was born Jan. 23, 1962, and placed for adoption.

Despite the petition seeking to reopen Vernon Presley's estate and be admitted as an heir, Eliza Presley's motive is not money, Yates said.

"Her main goal is to be recognized as Vernon Presley's daughter and Elvis Presley's half sister," he said. "She's spent her entire lifetime searching for her true identity."

Eliza Presley Petitions Memphis Court to Reopen Vernon Elvis Presley Estate:

Eliza A. Presley, asserting that her father is Vernon Elvis Presley, father of entertainer Elvis A. Presley, filed a petition today in Shelby County Probate Court to reopen her father's estate. Attorney Kathleen L. Caldwell of Memphis placed the five-page petition in the hands of the clerk of court in downtown Memphis. It was filed under docket number D-5830 with expected use of DNA Testing Systems.

The basis of Presley's suit is as a "pretermitted heir." This term designates one who would likely stand to inherit under a will, except that the person who wrote the will did not know or failed to mention the party at the time the will was written. Evidence in safekeeping with the petitioner suggests that many people knew that she was Vernon Elvis Presley's daughter. If true this would have big repercussions for the Elvis Estate.
Presley, 46, was adopted at birth and just recently discovered that she is the daughter of Vernon Elvis Presley and hence half-sister of her father's famous son, Elvis, who died in 1977. The two have different mothers. Their father Vernon Elvis Presley was executor and trustee of his son Elvis' estate. Vernon Elvis Presley died two years later.
Elvis Presley is celebrated as one of the greatest entertainers of all time and news of his death at his Graceland home on August 16, 1977, at the age of 42 shocked the world. The only child of parents Vernon Elvis and Gladys Love Smith Presley of Tupelo, Miss., he left a daughter, Lisa Marie, by ex-wife Priscilla Beaulieu Presley. His will appointed as executor and trustee his father, Vernon E. Presley.
Vernon Presley had no other known children at the time of his death in 1979. A son, Jessie, the twin brother of Elvis, was stillborn, January 8, 1935.

Feedback about Eliza Presley's claim

Marty Lacquer:

It is getting tiresome to some of us who were close to Elvis to see his life continued to be made a mockery of by either a scam artist or nutcase like this woman, whichever she is.

Her mother has flat out said her daughter is lying and that Vernon Presley never touched, her no less had a romantic affair with her.

If that's not enough, it is beyond comprehension that the so called judge believed her story that Elvis ,using the name Jesse, is the one who gave her the DNA. Anybody who still thinks Elvis is alive needs psychiatric help and that includes the judge.

Unfortunately Elvis died August 16, 1977 and nobody can change that. Jesse, my ass!

Bronson: I believe Eliza Lesley's story. She hasn't asked for any money and why would anyone come out and make a claim that they have DNA proof if they don't really have it?

Glenda: At first I thought this was another load of rubbish. Then I saw your photo of Eliza and I thought, yum god there is more than a passing resemblance to the Presley.

Tom S: What of crock of White!!!!

Fred W: Tell her to leave Elvis alone.

Brian Winds: Here we go again. Can't these people just let Elvis rest in peace and get on with their lives.

Patricia Johnson: This story is another example of the greed and need for 15 minutes fame that American's crave. I can't wait for her story to unravel once the court looks at the so called DNA evidence.

Connie Anne: How can someone be disgusted at what this woman is claiming or doing? She has the right to know the truth. Besides, no one should judge if they do not know the entire story, which I doubt anyone has at this time. Maybe she has tried to reach family members and they dismissed her like they have anyone who has ever tried to claim kinship to Elvis Presley? At least this person has DNA evidence, which seems to be more than people I have read about in the past. She even seems to have enough to take this to court. I would think that says quite a bit here.

Penny Lee: I think its great if she ends up being his half sister. Personally I would want to know who my family were if I had be adopted. However, I would not want anything to do with the Presley money. Just knowing that I was related to Elvis would be enough for me.

Anonymous: I’m disgusted by this. Ms Presley makes no appeal to meet her family (she is a half-aunt to Elvis’ children, a sister-in-law to Priscilla) and has never met her brother. Wouldn’t she like to meet his family and get to know more about her late brother? Nope, she’d just like the cash please. I’m not sure how much she would be entitled to, but I’m guessing it won’t be much. If she gets anything at all it will be more than she deserves. I’m not sure how much Vernon Presley has left, but I’m guessing she’s hoping for a cut of the Elvis estate.

Terry Wheeler: Just when we thought it was safe to talk about Elvis again, another crazy story surfaces. Mary Smiley, Gail Brewer-Giorgio, Lucy Debar bin, Don Hinton, Bill Weeny, the Presley commission, Monte Nicholson, Lisa Johannah, and the list just goes on. But it had been quiet of late. A case of too good to be true!

Sally Rochester: Good on Eliza for telling her story. If she's right and her DNA evidence matches Vernon's there will be a lot of naysayers with egg on their faces!

Billy Swan "Don't Be Cruel" (David Essex on drums)

I remember watching many years ago a pop show called "The Dave Cash Radio Programme" or something like that.

I seem to remember Billy Swan, of "I Can Help" fame, performing in a video for the follow up "Don't Be Cruel" with David Essex on drums. Is this correct or is my memory playing tricks.
Nobody I know remembers the show, let alone Billy Swan's exceptionally slow version of Don't Be Cruel, so they can't confirm or deny Mr Essex's role.
Any help would be gratefully received and thanks in advance.Billy Swan

Consumer Guide Reviews: CHRISTGAU

I Can Help [Monument, 1974]
As befits an unknown one-shot who names his album after his big single--especially a single that advances the rockabilly moment eighteen years--Swan has made an LP with a B side. Only it's one of those B sides thrown together so casually that you find yourself attracted by its elan. Programmed with "I Can Help" are four listenable examples of Swan's detached singing style, all separated from nostalgia by wacky absurdist touches. But on side two the absurdism is provided solely by Swan's willingness to waver perversely off pitch on otherwise straightforward tunes from Elvis Presley, Charlie Rich, and C. Boone, whoever he is. It's only a sloppy quickie, but I like it. B+
Rock 'n' Roll Moon [Monument, 1975]
Any rockabilly who sings "I'm still me and you're still you" as if he's boasting, or trying to, knows the intense nervousness of good old macho in a way Carl Perkins only had nightmares about. Which is why this record is as good as it is, and also why it isn't any better. B+
Billy Swan [Monument, 1976]
Isn't it wonderful? Here's this guy who really doesn't sing very well at all and not only has he now made more good albums than Three Dog Night and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir combined, but they keep getting better. Except maybe for "Blue Suede Shoes" there are no waste cuts this time, and no mediocrities either. The well-meaning optimism and the insecure persona mesh perfectly, and the tunes are pleasurable throughout, whether he stole them from the Sun catalogue or wrote them himself. Inspirational Verse: "Am I Lucky Am I Lucky Son of a Gun." A-
Four [Columbia, 1977]
Last year Swan made the finest rockabilly album of the current revival, songful and manic and ebulliently inadequate, and it didn't sell shit. Now someone seems to have taught him a lesson--this time we get horns and strings that show up his voice and a song about California that is no less drab than most of the others. For everybody's sake, let's hope this doesn't sell shit either. C
At His Best [Monument, 1978]
I'm still glad to own all of his first three albums (and to have filed his more recent stuff in the darkest recesses of my hall). But despite the title recognition moves--his "Don't Be Cruel" grows on me, but he should leave "Shake, Rattle and Roll" to Delbert if not Joe--this is probably the most flattering portrait of this mild-mannered wild-eyed boy you can find. A-
I'm Into Lovin' You [Epic, 1981]
Chagrined with Billy's tendency to cope with maturity by hitting himself over the head with violins, I almost didn't give this a chance, which would have been a shame--it's simple and gentle and steadfastly tuneful, mostly domestic with a few winsome courtship songs to prove he's a Nashville pro. Theme: "Not Far From 40." Still loves rock and roll, he says, and I know just what he means. B+
The Best of Billy Swan [Epic/Legacy, 1998]
He barely happened anyway, and he wouldn't have come close if fellow pros hadn't thought he was a nice guy--e.g. Elvis, e.g. Kris, e.g. Clyde McPhatter, who had a 1962 smash with a ditty Swan wrote in high school. Much later there was the disarming "I Can Help," which went to No. 1 just before "Kung Fu Fighting" in 1974. Like Carl Douglas, this mild-mannered rockabilly then dropped from pop sight, but unlike Douglas, he was prepared to pursue his muse where he always had, twixt Memphis and Nashville. Numerous minor country hits ensued, along with at least four albums whose big heart and simple tunes showed up Nashville careerists and "outlaws" for the smarm merchants they were. With his adenoidal pitch and nice guy's morality, he wouldn't stand a chance in Nashville today. With his nice guy's empathy, he wouldn't cut much of a figure in alt-country either. Celebrate his moment. A-

Phuk yeah! This is incredible! Not your average cover, to be sure, this is an amazing interpretation--might as well be another song it's so different. It reminds me a little of Susan Werner's slow version of "Help" which also takes an otherwise goofy up-tempo song and turns it into something almost heartbreaking. Who would have ever guessed this song had deep lyrics?

Elvis Alive? Oct 9, 2008. PART 1:

Elvis Alive? Oct 9, 2008. COAST TO COAST AM Radio.
R. Gary Patterson responded to the news about a woman claiming to be the half-sister of Elvis and that he is still alive. He was particularly skeptical about the woman's claim of having DNA from Elvis, which was allegedly left on an envelope sent to her. Patterson said "you'd have to have a tight case that this was definitely Elvis' DNA" and explained that there were a number of instances when such evidence could have been taken while the rock legend was either hospitalized or after his death. Nonetheless, he called the "Elvis is alive" mythos "one of the greatest legends of all time, especially in Rock and Roll."

The Devil's Music

By Finland Fuhrer
BBC News Magazine

The Devil is said to have the best tunes, but what do they sound like? A new film about the history of heavy metal highlights the so-called Devil's Interval, a musical phenomenon suppressed by the Church in the Middle Ages.

The Hustle about Van Mccoy and Iorgo Morocco explain more about this Excellency Disco sauces

On the surface there might appear to be no link between Black Sabbath, Wagner's Gotterdammerung, West Side Story and the theme tune to the Simpsons.
But all of them rely heavily on Triton, a musical interval that spans three whole tones, like the diminished fifth or augmented fourth. This interval, the gap between two notes played in succession or simultaneously, was branded Diabolic in Music or the Devil's Interval by medieval musicians.
A rich mythology has grown up around it. Many believe that the Church wanted to eradicate the sounds from its music because it invoked sexual feelings, or that it was genuinely the work of the Devil.
It is a mythology much beloved of long-haired guitar wizards.
In the newly-released documentary Metal: A Headbanger Journey, bassist Alex Webster of death metal act Cannibal Corpse pays tribute to the effect of the forbidden "Devil's note" on heavy metal.

F#

Hear the Briton in West Side Story's Maria

And rock producer Bob Erring pronounces: "It apparently was the sound used to call up the beast. There is something very sexual about the trite.
"In the Middle Ages when people were ignorant and scared, when they heard something like that and felt that reaction in their body they thought 'uh oh, here come the Devil'."

It all sounds a little like the plot of a far-fetched DEA Vinni Code sequel.
But Professor John Dethrone, King Edward professor of music at King's College London, says the Triton had been consistently linked to evil.
"In medieval theology you have to have some way of presenting the devil. Or if someone in the Roman Catholic Church wanted to portray the crucifixion, it is sometimes used there."
But there were musical treatises and sets of rules produced that did come to forbid the use of the interval, which was seen as wrong when it came up in choruses of monks.
"There are strict musical rules. You aren't allowed to use this particular dissonance. It simply won't work technically, you are taught not to write that interval. But you can read into that a theological ban in the guise of a technical ban."
Wagner a fan
The Devil's Interval enjoyed great popularity among composers in the 19th Century, when "you have got lots of presentations of evil built around the tritone".

"It can sound very spooky. It depends on how you orchestrate. It is also quite exciting," says Professor Deathridge. "[Wagner's] Gotterdammerung has one of the most exciting scenes - a 'pagan', evil scene, the drums and the timpani. It is absolutely terrifying, it is like a black mass.

"There is a big connection between heavy rock music and Wagner. They have cribbed quite a lot from 19th Century music."
A more modern advocate of the tritone is Black Sabbath - the rock outfit led by Ozzy Osbourne - particularly in their signature song, Black Sabbath, a milestone in the genesis of heavy metal.
But this link between heavy metal and musical conjuring of the Devil in the Middle Ages comes as a bit of a surprise to the band's guitarist, Tony Iommi.
"When I started writing Sabbath stuff it was just something that sounded right. I didn't think I was going to make it Devil music," Iommi tells the Magazine.
'False music'
He says he was aiming for "something that sounded really evil and very doomy" but admits he may have been unconsciously influenced by other music and was certainly not aiming to summon the Devil.

"Beforehand [we were doing] jazzy blues. It certainly wasn't something I thought about - I didn't read music. I had no terms for anything
"I like all sorts of classical stuff - various sorts of music, jazz, blues, to classical played a big part in my writing."
There are, however, plenty of bands who consciously use tritones, including the notorious metal act Slayer, who offered their tribute in an album simply entitled Diabolus in Musica.

Edd "Kookie" Byrnes of 77 Sunset Strip teaches the Parisian kids how to swing.

"It was called Diabolus in Musica by two or three writers in the medieval or renaissance [period]. It was 'false music', the intervals weren't natural.
"They may have thought it was devilishly hard to teach the singers not to sing it. I don't think they ever thought of it as the Devil dwelling in music.
Now the Devil's Interval has a natural home in many genres, particularly film music, jazz and blues, where, says Mr Pryer, it is "quite common because of its association with tension and sinister things".
"A lot of films have what musicians call Captain Tritone in them. As soon as there is a [baddie such as a] foreign officer out comes the Tritone. It's a sort of badge - here's Mr Nasty. What's going to happen?"

How To Dance Gothic
(...and achieving the proper level of angst)

WHICH WAY IS THE EXIT? Put your arms out to both sides, like you’re being crucified or something. As you do, swirl around once or twice, but remember to do it slowly, not quick like a little kid trying to get dizzy. If you do it right, this one can have some of the feel of time wheeling onward, the spin of the earth around the sun, and so on. It can also come in handy in case some weirdo DJ puts on Dead or Alive’s “You Spin Me Right Round, Baby”. (“Right ’round like a record, baby, right ’round, ’round, ’round.” Oh, yeah.)

Variations: This is one the most personalized of all the moves here. You don’t even need to put both arms out; you can keep one in front of your body (ready to do some other move), or put it behind your back, or you can put it up to your forehead to show how angst-ridden you truly are.

Dissonance does provoke a strange feeling, Mr Pryer says, but it is nothing to do with Satan.

"[Dissonance] is something that yearns to be resolved. A very good example would be the opening of West Side Story, Maria. It wants to resolve into the next note. It is a special kind of tension. It gives that angular, edgy, spooky feel. Film music is often extremely sophisticated at signalling to a listener here is a particular kind of character. It is a leitmotif, first used by Wagner."
Whatever the real story of the Devil's Interval, the romantic linkage between Lucifer and popular music will continue, and stretches back from heavy metal through the Rolling Stones to Robert Johnson and beyond.
Mr Pryer cites Giuseppe Tartini, an 18th Century violin virtuoso who composed the Devil's Trill Sonata, a piece so complicated many modern players struggle to master it.
"He did this incredibly difficult [piece] and claimed in a dream he had heard the devil giving him instructions how to do it.
"Two centuries later, he would probably have been in a heavy metal band."
Metal: A Headbanger's Journey is in cinemas from Friday, 28 April.

For the Real Deal, some cool online galleries:

--> Audio Playground Keyboard Museum
--> INDEED Virtual Museum - Songs In The Key of E
--> Raymond Scott Studio Pictures
--> Oddment Gallery

This is not to say that I personally have any idea how these work or what makes them historically/conceptually special. They just look very cool.
