So, Boys and Girls, dogs and cats, mice and fleas, here's your Who Knew? Pop Quiz #2 Question.
Which country's National Orchestra is larger than their army?
1) Monaco
2) Malta
3) Liechtenstein
4) Palestine
Pretty wild thought, eh? More musicians than military? But, not unheard of. Read the Old Testament and discover that in battles, it was the musicians - who's weapons were musical instruments and songs - who went FIRST (as in IN FRONT OF) the warriors into combat.
And you wonder if there's 'power' in being a musician? (Yeah, duh!).
Who knew?

The answer to Who Knew? #2 is 1. Monaco's army is 255 persons strong (that means their orchestra is bigger.) Wow. Wouldn't you love to hear THEM play?
