"They eventually found the percussionist in the morgue, but he wasn't quite dead, so they warmed him up again and he played in the concert."
david12,
Is that supposed to be funny?"
Roxy 54, Not funny at all, just a true story. It speaks to what Russia endured in "The Great Patriotic War", particularly Leningrad. Nobody knows how many died, mainly of cold and starvation, but probably more than a milliion out of a 3 million population in 1940. The worst winters for many years and a daily ration of not more than 200gms of bread. Just bread, nothing else. My mother in law said people left home in the morning and never came home from work, just fell dead in the street, particularly in winter of course.
