14..VAUC & Arnie (welcome to our show) recall Dick Gregory.

15..Both Pinot and VTC offer America's Sister Golden Hair. The lyricist of America did once state that some songs come out as unconnected images rather than linear stories. In that, I think Horse With No Name succeeds. Of course, one can't expect a silly ol' bear to be less literal anymore.

16..A bunch fill in "thy own self be true", And geordi completes the quote. Still I can't hold the Bard responsible for the, "Aw C'mon" part.

17..VAUC recognizes the fellow as heavyweight champ.

18..Where's rbny when I need him? There is no piano concerto #2 by the Russian.

19..You have several ways of putting it, a variation on pronunciation of a language.

20..Geordi writes of a drunken Korean. How does one win a tournament that way? Three others identify her without the pejorative.

21..Yeah, my mom too...how else would I know the Lovely Lennon Sisters? Meyers and 3 other members of a captive audience.

22..Five offer Henry David Thoreau, who spent 2 years there.

23..A few of you recognize the outer space quality of the question, but nobody hits its claim to fame. It examined soil & rocks on Mars.

24..Ed4 states it's Jose Bautista, but if I asked the question today, the answer is different.

25..Ed4, VAUC & geordi know it is Kent.

I go now to a little exercize and then brunch. Have a beautiful day.

I was going to say the "significant difference" was that they were by different composers, but I didn't want to be a smart aleck. In fact, Tchaikovsky did write a Piano Concerto No. 2:

Piano Concerto No. 2

I was sure I had read in more than one place that the Russian stopped at #1. I also recall I had a professional disc on vinyl so many years ago that simply cited "Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto", sans a number. Were you ever aware of some wrong info out there?
Of course, it is my failing that I did not do a simple probe before offering this question. Thanks for the correction.

There is, in fact, a 3rd piano concerto (one movement, Op. 75) that
has been recorded numerous times (see Amazon).
