I would love to bring Leonardo di Vinci 'back' - so that he can see how close to the truth he was with his designs i.e. helicopter

The Curies - so that they can glean an idea as to how their work progressed health care and survival rates

Beethoven and other classical composers - so that he/they can learn how much pleasure music has given

Would have to be my dad. Would have loved him to see how we all turned out. I was only 7 when he died.

[Dyan]

My Dad because he has missed my 3 children growing up into wonderful adults and because I miss him.

As for celebs Elvis & Roy Orbison for their music

My mum as she died when I was 17 and she was only 40....so although she had met my husband missed my wedding and my two children.

I opened this thinking of people dead from way back but:

on a personal basis I would love to talk to my late Dad - once my Mum has died, to find out what really happened  ….. so much has emerged since his passing in 2006 and a lot of issues that I blamed him for, might have been different had Mum not been the controlling factor 

[Ju Ju]

My sister, so she see what amazing children she has. From history? Florence Nightingale. What would she have made of medical advances and the NHS?

[CLKD]

Would Florence have read the books by Jennifer Worth?

I wonder what the man who made the telephone would make of our www etc.? (Alexander Graham Bell?)

I would bring back an American singer/songwriter called Elliott Smith (he might not be that pleased though as he committed suicide) just so that my son could meet him and have a chat about music.

On a personal level I would bring back my mate who died from pancreatic cancer last year - still miss him so much - so many laughs we didn't get to share.

I would like to say to:
- Tchaikovsky - Whilst I played in orchestras, I liked doing your orchestral pieces, Wow.
- Mum - What were you thinking of?  not talking about me, but Dad.
- Dad - Sorry

Mum and Dad separated a long time ago (1970).
I never really spoke to them properly.

Johann Sebastian Bach, who put Western classical music on the map.  What a genius - absolutely everything he wrote works!  It's impossible to get tired of his music.  Anyone see John Elliot Gardiner's documentary on the great man??  Fascinating.

For me it would be Antonio Vivaldi, I think he would be pleased that his music has endured. He also suffered from asthmatic bronchitis all his life and I think if he was brought back he would wonder at our modern medicine and how it would have made his life so much better and easier, also how many red heads there are today

Of all the Composers he is my favourite.

Mmm!  Food for thought indeed, Silverlady!  I think there are some gorgeous melodies in Vivaldi's slow movements.  We're doing his Gloria in November, using a combined choir from the churches in the area (yours truly on the organ) - looking forward to that v. much.

Still Leonardo at the top of my list .........

Enstein?

That's a different thread, I began this as a homage to people in history who 'were ahead of their time'.

There are several forum members I'd like to invite back who seem to have been bullied off.

What an excellent thought, Stellajane - such a wealth of knowledge and willingness to help others has been lost.
