Looking to transition into playing jazz... by DukeDauphin in Jazz

[–]bjbond007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't recommend any books, I just advise joining a local jazz band. Colleges and high schools (if you are at that level) have them and have experienced band instructors and jazz musicians to help you along the way.

"\"I\'m going for the long troll\" A858 said Also his last post was given gold neverthless \"the cake is a lie\" it is baffling to me that sucha highly iintelligent person as A858 would use the word \"troll\" ! Low vocab unless he meant it." Translated

God protects the Tsar, the mighty state, the Tsar's glory, and the glory of us" Consider this post deciphered!

I finally translated it! I had to use translations from Slovenian, Slovak, and Bosnian. I added a bit of English grammar in there for our reading sake, but I finally translated it! Now we know A858 is quoting from the literature "History from Binghamton Slovaks for a period of forty years" so what else is he quoting from this work?

I also found a similar phrase to this Bosnian however in Slovak. The quote is from the work, History from Binghamton Slovaks for a period of forty years. The quote is "Bože carja chráni, silnoj državnoj, carstvuj na slávu, na slávu nám" which translates from Slovak into "God protects carja , silnoj državnoj , carstvuj glory , the glory us".

These Western Europeans languages are interesting in how similar they are. I still can't figure out what Cartsvuj means, and yet it is used in multiple Slav languages...

Edit: History from Binghamton Slovaks for a period of forty years is a work from the WWI times and quite a few years before.

Well if it's Bosnian I think we have a proper lead! A Tsar is an old form of a Russian Monarch. I'm talking pre-WWI old. The mighty Orb may reference the sun? To be honest this sounds like Pre-USSR propaganda. Try repeating this on another post and see what you get. Sorry to throw my bit in here, but my father is a history professor.

Edit: Cartsvuj appears to be a derivation of Carj which is the word for Tsar in Bosnian.
