DAS EXTREME CELLO

These two brothers have taken the cello to another universe I think. You may not like the genre, but you will be amazed at their innovations.

DAS FERSCHLUGGENER NUT CASE

This is not music.

The piano has 88 keys which are made up of about 243 wires. There is a science and mathematical discipline in the scale and tuning of a piano, and Sergei Prokofiev had no business being taken seriously by anyone.

But, the world sits in awe of the mad ramblings. They have no idea where the alleged music starts or ends. They only know that someone said Prokofiev is a master composer, and one must try to look serious and attentive when the idiot is performing.

Thus, it is Forte, but it is Forte nonsense.

DAS DINGO

And so it is in Australia. 

The hound sings and accompanies himself on the piano.

DAS LORD I'VE TRIED

The Christian life is not about reaching perfection, but it is not about getting used to being less than what God wants of me.

The Apostle Paul said it this way:

Philippians 3:13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

The issue is, which way are you looking, back at your failures, or on up yonder where the victory is?

Brother Banks, recorded in 1982, sings his experience.

Nutty as a fruit cake, I gather, a German fruit cake at that.
