    My centenary-induced bout of Boulezing has led me to the recording of Pli selon pli starring Ms Phyllis Bryn-Julson. I hied me to her wikipedia page to find out something more about her than my ears were telling me and came upon this little nugget of information:

    A native of Bowdon, North Dakota, Bryn-Julson is one of five children born to Norwegian parents.
    Surely there must be more than five? I read that the population of Norway is well over five million. But perhaps they are dissuaded for some reason from procreating with each other.

      ... and how many of the other four were born outside Norway?

        Maybe because it's become unafjordable?

            I think the Beatles might attribute it to a lack of Norwegian wood
