I would say sorry but that would be lying.

I’m not sorry.

OTD in Music History: Historically important composer Johann Strauss, Sr. (1804 - 1849) -- aka "Johann Strauss The Elder" -- is born in Vienna. Strauss Sr. was famous for the various forms of "light" music (namely waltzes, polkas, and galops) which he helped to popularize in Vienna alongside his friend and colleague, Joseph Lanner (1801 - 1843). He thereby set the foundation for his own sons -- Johann Jr. (1825 - 1899), Josef (1827 - 1870), and Eduard (1835 - 1916) -- to follow in his footsteps and create a multi-generational musical dynasty. Strauss Sr. is perhaps best known today for composing the "Radetzky March" (named after Czech nobleman Joseph Radetzky von Radetz), and he first established his reputation when he began conducting at the “Sperl,” a popular Viennese dance hall, in the early 1830s. By 1834, he was appointed bandmaster to the 1st Vienna Militia Regiment, and the following year he was made Director of the Imperial Court Balls. He then undertook a series of wildly successful concert tours across Europe. Suffice to say, he was a very busy man... but not too busy to acquire a mistress, with whom he had a whopping eight children. Perhaps not surprisingly, this ultimately led him to abandon his first family. Ironically, this proved to be a very fortuitous development for the history of "classical" music: up to that point, Strauss Sr. had staunchly refused to allow any of his sons to pursue careers in music. Johann Jr. was commanded to study banking; Josef was destined for a military career; and Eduard was expected to join the Austrian consulate. But that all changed when Strauss Sr. abandoned the family -- suddenly, the boys were freed up to pursue their musical passions. Johann Jr. quickly struck up his own band, and soon began competing with his father... PICTURED: A rare copy of the first edition printed piano-reduction score for Strauss Sr.'s "Festlieder Waltz" (Op. 193 c. 1845), which he signed on the front cover.

So to go along with my last ask, here's a little drabble with kalim proposing

The spotlights went up into the room as the show came to an end as the sound of the last songs guitar strings echo fell quiet. The band drummer, Kalim Al-Asim, stepped forward to the microphone.

"Thank you for having us NRC! It's been a great three years playing for you, I hope to see you at our future shows crowds! Before we leave this stage though, there's one thing I need to do that I've been wanting to do for a long time," His red eyes landed om two men on the crowd, one with strawberry blonde hair, and the others was a dark black.

"Jamil Viper, Ace Trappola, my dears, can you please step onto this stage?"

The two eventually made there way to the stage, "Oh my seven he's actually doing it..!" Lilia muttered a smile growing on his face while Cater was right next to him recording

Kalim reached into his pocket and got down on one knee, "You two have been the people I've wanted to spend my life with, even before we got together there was a voice in my head that if I was gonna have partners, it would be you. I've waited 3 years to ask this, and I know you two have probably waited longer, but, will you two do me the honor of marrying me?"

Ace was the first one to get down and hug kalim, tears rolling down his face, followed by Jamil

Jamil was the first one to say anything however, "Yes. A thousand times yes!"

Ace nodded, while the rest of the audience cheered. Today was a fantastic day

everybody wants to rule the world
