Getting A Handel On It

I showed my music class a short film about composer George Frideric Handel. Afterwards, a student asked if that was really Handel or an actor playing Handel.

“Well, Alex,” I said, “Handel lived way back in the 1700s. Does that give you a hint?”

“Ah,” said Alex, realising his mistake. “It couldn’t have been him. If it were really Handel from that long ago, the film would have been in black-and-white.”
