The only thing besides those mentioned, as far as the butterfly, was that Chinese guy that dreamt that he was a butterfly; so I tried some names like Zhuangzi, and that, of course, led nowhere.

I also tried a lot of random stuff with bisy, leaves, even "encore", Bizet, and Puccini Rolling Eyes

etc., with no luck, obviously.

Jesse scetch:

"water and other solubles" - I was looking for names of things that would be soluble in water to make watercolors - found nothing noteworthy; tried stuff like "aquarelle", "pigment"...

a musical sketch would be something like "etude", right? Heh, that's not the name, though... I also thought of the styles/genre that this "sketch" would fall under - like "gravure" or "graphique".

Stared at this for a while hoping that something other than "dead" and "cafe" would come to mind, but Sad

I've been told...

"there's a major clue that folks have dismissed as not being a clue, it's a recurring clue"

Do this help someone?

I yield.

I gave it one last passthrough, just to see if something jumped out at me as a clue, and you know what? EVERYTHING jumped out at me as a clue. "bisy", Jesse sketch, Butterfly door, eye o' storm, Leiphe Lessons, HTML comments, offhand remarks about neighbors grazing their chis with car doors, Looking for JR, Old Married Couple, out there, the "np" songs, archives/000270.html... I could go on and on.

Give me a real clue, a reason to want to continue searching...otherwise just tell me the page.

I yield.

I was thinking of using that for the other Dina music puzzle, but then people went and solved it anyway.

there's a mobile service in the UK called 'Shazam' but it requires 20 to thirty seconds of music. I think it costs 50p a song. Can't remember the number off hand.....

Sorry, I, er, ahem...had a moment of weakness. Nothing to see here.

Here's an index of Music Information Retrieval systems, including the phone one mentioned above:

http://mirsystems.info/index.php?mirsystems

May be useful...

[EDIT]The phone service is called Vodafone, and it's in German.

Looks like the Vodafone service is mostly for pop songs, but I'm sure they would have some of the more famous classical pieces in there. Perhaps the fastest way would be to have a musician friend identify them, then go here to verify it.

Ok, two things on the leaf picture...

One:
On the right of the leaf, there appears to be a face. I highlighted it in the picture attached.

Two:
Below the leaf appears to be some writing. I cropped that, put it as a negative and tried to read it. It appears to be tabeal or febinu or something like that. Does someone have better graphics adjusting programs to get a sharper image?

Here is another positively wrong venue.

The most "recurring" thing in their blogs is "now playing". I looked at all the lyrics, hoping that maybe there is something along the lines of Kat's password - a common word in all songs, or, maybe some sort of theme Rolling Eyes

I don't see one; but it's really cool to look back at what was happening in Dina's life and see how closely the songs match those changes. I can almost visualize the whole chain of events just by reading all the lyrics. Poor Dina Sad

Another word I noticed repeated a lot in the blogs was "piano"; that's just one more useless piece of information.

Guys.. a bell has rung in my head...

Leaf has more or less the same pronunciation of leiphe, plus, on leiphe's site there's a tree...

Does this mean that we're looking for Dina's Leiphe Map or something related? I'm now pretty sure it's something related to Leiphe!
