GIVING THE TAX PAYERS THEIR MONEY'S WORTH

DAS HOT ROD LINCOLN

We had two older Lincolns, '70s era. Those monsters are like driving off in your living room compared to modern cars. I knew an Indian (from India) American who kept all his book keeping on the dash of his Lincoln. That way, when the IRS came knocking, he could slip out back and drive over into Mexico for a short visit while the Feds looked for him.

Thus, a musical tribute to the Lincoln.

FINALLY, DAS PACHELBEL I CAN TOLERATE

Long ago my oldest son was taking piano lessons. I was delighted. I am a piano tuner, and it was a great boost to my self-esteem for one of my sons to be playing the piano. 

All went well for some time. We finally got to Santa Lucia, and that was real music. What progress. And then the music teacher assigned my son to play Canon in D by Pachelbel. It should be called Canon in Duh? What Gothic magnificent boredom.

I thought my son was stuck on a tough part and playing it over and over to master it. So, I asked him to go ahead and try to play the whole song and come back to the tough part later. "But Dad, that is the whole song."

I told him no composer should take credit for such a mess-- such vain repetition. Then my son told me, "But Dad, Pachelbel was Johann Sabastian Bach's piano teacher. I told him the it was a good thing Pachelbel died so Bach had to learn to play real music.

Thus, I give you some real entertainment based on Pachelbel's Canon in D.

DAS FORTE DRUMMER

This IS forte drumming folks......




And, the mad Korean drummer

DAS OLD TIME BRITISH COMEDY

Humor now is morbid, laced with sexual innuendo, and not very creative. Here is British humor as it was long ago.

DAS DINGO

And so it is in Australia. 

The hound sings and accompanies himself on the piano.

DAS BLAT- COVER YOUR HORN PLEASE

Dedication folks. This fellow will NOT take the mouthpiece away from his lips for any emergency. This is quite commendable, but it is also dangerous when one needs to sneeze.

DAS FALSETTO- DAS NUTTY AS A FRUITCAKE

This one was popular when I was in college. I never paid much attention to it, so I assumed the high voice was a girl. I never listened to the words. I just found this, and I decided this kid was pretty clever, and........ FORTE.

So, it deserves a play for memory's sake, and then off to the closet again.



How about the pegged trousers and the skinny ties. I hated those ties. The pegged trousers had to be designed by some French queer, at least that was my Dad's verdict. But you have to give that era credit for not coming out dressed in rubbish they found in the dumpster behind Goodwill Industries.

If the 60s was art, we are lost forever. But, some poor demented soul our there needs the rush of returning to those plastic years. GO HERE, AND ENJOY
