Cello

The cello (/ˈɛl/ CHEL-oh; plural cellos or celli) or violoncello (/ˌvələnˈɛl/ VY-ə-lən-CHEL-oh;Italian pronunciation: [vjolonˈtʃɛllo]) is a bowed string instrument with four strings tuned in perfect fifths. It is a member of the violin family of musical instruments, which also includes the violin and viola.

The cello is used as a solo musical instrument, as well as in chamber music ensembles, string orchestras, as a member of the string section of symphony orchestras, and some rock bands. It is the second-largest bowed string instrument in the modern symphony orchestra, the double bass being the largest.

Cellos were derived from other mid- to large-sized bowed instruments in the 16th century, such as the viola da gamba, and the generally smaller and squarer viola da braccio, and such instruments made by members of the Amati family of luthiers.

Cello parts are generally written in the bass clef, but both tenor and treble clefs are used for higher-range parts.

A person who plays the cello is called a cellist or violoncellist.

Cello (web browser)

Cello was an early graphical web browser for Windows 3.1, developed by Thomas R. Bruce of the Legal Information Institute at Cornell Law School, and released as shareware in 1993. While other browsers ran on various Unix machines, Cello was the first web browser for Microsoft Windows, using the winsock system to access the Internet. In addition to the basic Windows, Cello worked on Windows NT 3.5 and with small modifications on OS/2.

Cello was created because of a demand for Web access by lawyers, who were more likely to use Microsoft Windows than the Unix operating systems supporting earlier Web browsers, including the first release of Mosaic. The lack of a Windows browser meant many legal experts were unable to access legal information made available in hypertext on the World Wide Web. Cello was popular during 1993/1994, but fell out of favor following the release of Mosaic for Windows and Netscape, after which Cello development was abandoned.

Cello was first publicly released on 8 June 1993. A version 2.0 was announced, but development was abandoned. Version 1.01a, 16 April 1994, was the last public release. Since then, the Legal Information Institute at Cornell Law School has licensed the Cello 2.0 source code, which has been used to develop commercial software.

    by: Celly Cel

    Alright, what's up, what's up, what's up

    I'm about to put it down, it's only one way to do it
    Only one way, check it out, check it out
    [Verse 1]
    Dust kicker, quick to twist a nigga up in knots
    Never miss a not, quick to twist and shake up in the rocks
    Drop it on the wood and dry it up
    Throw it in a Ziploc tie it up, dope fiends buy it up
    Now it's a clutch of sluggin' G's in this motherfucker
    Now fuck what's up, let's move kis in this motherfucker
    So any nigga with some cash on my line
    Can't do nothin' but bubble cause it's A-1 every time
    White outs and won't crumble when ya slice
    Keep comin' to see me I'm knockin' something off the price
    I got work for the playas in need
    If you bout to head to feed you just some niggas gotta bleed
    So keep the game tight, hustle on a late night
    Bring me money, don't come up short and we straight right
    Close shop, when I run I hit the one way
    Why you sell yo, fool it's the only way
    [Hook]
    They told me to get a 9 to 5
    Cause niggas like me in the street don't survive
    But I hustle all day, before I lay
    In the Bay, for me it's the only way
    They told me to get a 9 to 5
    Cause niggas like me in the street don't survive
    But I hustle all day, before I lay
    In the Bay, for me it's the only way
    [Verse 2]
    Back on the scene and I'm sittin' on trust status
    Told my tester, drop it on his apparatus
    Clientele, I seen em' comin' and I seen em' gone
    Sweaty palms itchin' with them high beams on
    And when ya movin' too much niggas be gettin' jealous
    They see police on the corner and won't even tell us
    So it's do or die, you can stay true or lie
    Now we know you and I is two bird that don't fly
    Together, separate mine from ya funky style
    Niggas be gossipin' while I be watchin' money pile
    Smile now and get crossed up
    Take yo clientele and raise the cost up
    Have yo ass tossed up
    Switchin' all ya yea to fetti
    The big dog is on the block them lil' puppies ain't ready
    Bow wow yippy-yay bow down to the Bay
    Hey why you sell yay, it's the only way
    [Hook]
    [Verse 3]
    When they get scrilla please give me a holla
    Cause I was servin' up a short one for some of they dollars
    With nickels and dimes I'm gettin' mine, even scrap iron
    Trade for jewels, new clothes, and the strap firin'
    Without jammin' and I'm addin' to my throw aways
    Def niggas in the cut ridin' like stowaways
    Everybody got yea in they draws
    Hit a fence on the Feds cause they be squeezin' ya balls
    And when they leave it's time to set up shop
    And if ya shortstop, ain't no mercy nigga bop, bop
    Drop down and make ya way up out the Bomb-Bay
    Took his money and his yea, it's the only way
    [Hook]
    [* Long pause *]
