[edit] Solfeggio

"Robert Maxwell's "Solfeggio" became so associated with the infamous derby-hatted apes that it became better known simply as "The Song of the Nairobi Trio"." -- Solfeggio links to Solfege: "a way of assigning syllables to degrees or steps of the diatonic scale." Correct when referring to "Robert Maxwell's 'Solfeggio'", or not? -- 201.78.233.162 00:49, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Yes, both terms refer to singing a melody using do-re-mi-etc. syllables for the appropriate notes, as is done in the Maxwell piece. StanislavJ 01:32, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lincoln

I added a clarification on the Lincoln automobile. This may seem very redundant to readers in the USA, but not all Wikipedia users are from the USA. -- 201.78.233.162 01:27, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
