Guys, I honestly didn't think this one would be so confounding. Flowerboy you made it to mystery man's next door neighbor. Shostakovich co-wrote an anthem with<P> DA DAAAAAAAA!!!<P>Aram Khachaturian. The ballet was Gayne, and the gem the Sabre Dance.
yeah, i wouldve never thought about khatchaturian - none the less Sabre Dance (which i played in a percussion quintet-i played triangle!). I generally think of him as armenian - but i guess it was part of the Soviet union at that time. i could see sabre dance at being famous at that time.<BR>
