Free Sample of Kent/MWF

**burningdarkness** · 08-22-2008, 10:14 PM

If there is anyone who hasn't tried Mitchell's Wool Fat and would like to do so, let me know. I've got a small sample of it that I've used once that I no longer need as a fellow B&B member sent me a puck from the UK. All I ask is that you let me know what you think of it and that you pass it along to someone else to try if you don't like it.

If you want to try MWF, post in this thread the answer to the following question:

How many children did J.S. Bach have? How many of them survived infancy?

**TheBigShow** · 08-22-2008, 10:18 PM

7 kids, only 4 survived to adulthood

**burningdarkness** · 08-22-2008, 10:23 PM

Sorry, friend. That answer is not correct. Keep guessing, folks.

**scottydoint** · 08-22-2008, 10:27 PM

20 children and 10 survived

**joshmpdx** · 08-22-2008, 10:34 PM

20 / 10

good show!

He had seven children with his first wife, only four survived to adulthood.
He had 13 children with his second wife, 7 of which died young.
That makes a total of 10 surviving.

Bach had two wives. The first, Maria Barbara had 7 children, while the second, Anna Magdalena had a whopping 13 (Ouch!).

Let me hear the names. I was actually going to put that in as a bonus question, but decided that no one would get it.

Maria Barbara Bach then to
Anna Magdalena Bach (married when she was 17

and I think only a few months after his first wife died)

Sorry. I misunderstood. I thought you knew the names of all the children. That would have been something!

I took a music class a few years ago and got free tickets to every concert of the Louisville Bach Socieity, I only had to write reviews of two but I went to all four and loved them.

**J Howard** · 08-22-2008, 10:49 PM

Oh well actually I would have known a few because the fourth concert was only music composed by the Bach children.
