Have there been any thoughts on the six broken strings and the muting thereof?

Okay so, Tom Wiggins played at the Whitehouse in 1860. No quotes from him (he was a kid). But, the president at that time was James Buchanan.

Quotes from him (with no years attached to them yet) are:

"I like the noise of democracy."


"The ballot box is the surest arbiter of disputes among free men. "


"The test of leadership is not to put greatness into humanity, but to elicit it, for the greatness is already there. "

"To avoid entangling alliances has been a maxim of our policy ever since the days of Washington, and its wisdom no one will attempt to dispute. "

"What is right and what is practicable are two different things. "

"If you are as happy in entering the White House as I shall feel on returning to Wheatland, you are a happy man indeed. " [I think this was said in 1860, as Lincoln took over the presidency.]

The Marsh Chapel is said to have a picture of Lincoln in a stained glass window on the blacony, so this could somehow be related. ???

Okay, now - Buchanan was president from 1857-1861.

In 1860, he was overthrown as president for his views on slavery. Abraham Lincoln took over.

"Consequently, when the Republicans nominated Abraham Lincoln, it was a foregone conclusion that he would be elected even though his name appeared on no southern ballot. Buchanan watched silently as South Carolina seceded on December 20, followed by six other cotton states, and by February, they formed the Confederate States of America. Eight slave states refused to join." (wikipedia)

There's that number - six. Hmmm.... six 'broken' states?

Maybe this is just directing us toward the Lincoln window? I don't know... I don't have time to look anything else up now, but maybe someone else can use this information.

Thanks, Elixir. I'm going to head right for the Lincoln window. Everything seems to be pointing that way.

Ooh a piano good one!

Is there a piano in the church place then?

[giddeanx]

probably not it was probably just a clue to get to the key for the cypher.

Im still not sure how the rest of the paper applies to blind tom wiggins.

There is a regular grand piano in the chapel along with a huge pipe organ. Both are located near the front of the chapel. When I was there, the piano was in use and there were some choir singers practicing, so I couldn't get near the front of the church.

I am still stumped about the "Empty House" clue/message as well. What is Zipp trying to tell us?

[lostgurl]

Could "empty house" mean that you should go when there is no one there. that way you would be able to look around the piano.
under the peddles??
