No, I am not Mickey Owen.
IQ: Are you an artist celebrated for mobiles, ready-mades and playing chess against John Cage?
I am not Marcel Duchamp.
IQ: Less famous than your older brother, are you never the less remembered for your trumpet concerto?
No, I am not Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s younger brother?
Are you associated with Pop Art?
I’d say “I am not Marilyn Monroe” but I will assume you meanas a creator. So I will try “No, I am not Mark Rothko” but am prepared to learn he is not classed as a Pop artist.
I’m sorry, Mozart did not have a brother, he had an older sister nicknamed ‘Nannerl’ (I forget her real name - Anna Maria or something close to it; it’s the ‘Anna’ that becomes ‘Nannerl’, the German equivalent of Annie). No, I was after Michael Haydn, the younger brother of Joseph Haydn, who spent most of his life in the shadow of his brother. However, there is one work of his, the Trumpet Concerto, that is still played frequently. Winton Marsalis’ recording of the Haydn and Hummel Trumpet Concerti was a big splash when it came out in the mid-1980s.
DQ: Is ‘M’ the initial of your last name?
Correct, but just one “t” in Mathew.
IQ: Did some in your state joke about you, “I knew him before he was [ethnic origin]”?
Actually, no- the first 11 years, there was just one Cy Young award. 1967 was the first year in which they had separate National League and American League winners. And the first National League winner wasn’t Maricahal… it was his teammate, Mike McCormick (who didn’t really deserve it, but that’s another issue).
Juan Marichal never won a Cy Young award, which is a travesty!
My DQ: Were you an actor?
Were you an adorably ugly kid who did commercials for Underwood deviled ham?
I have to rush out but to answer your and astorian’s DQ’s, my last name begins with “M” and I was not an actor.
The only variant of that I am familiar with is Oscar Levant’s having known Doris Day before she was a virgin. But I will try: no, I am not Mike Dukakis
Funny, I almost guessed Wynton Marsalis instead.
No, I am not Mason Reese.
Am I allowed to amend, ever so slightly? I am not first, foremost, or at all prominently or memorably an actor.
