I played this piece on my senior recital way back when. But it was nowhere near this entertaining.

That was awesome! Why does music have to be so serious all of the time!?

This is awesome. The only thing missing is a giant cookie jar...

OM NOM NOM NOM!!!!

This made me think of xylophonia. That can be a hysterical piece especially with the duck call in the middle.

AWESOME!

what is the title of that piece ?

Charleston Capers (by George Hamilton Green)

really a great vid!  How hard would it be to walk, much less play like that in that costume?

I HATE the fact that most people are completely unphased by this display of not only great musicianship but quality entertainment.  People are so unmoved by unique things now a days and I find most people go out of their way to ignore stuff like this (when I play out in public anyway - I like to watch and observe while performing too - and I play steel drums) 

Is this what our culture has become?  Come on kids, look away form the performer!  A very famous violin soloist a few months ago played in the subway in NYC for tips as an experiment sort of.  He made like $10 or so.  (wish I remembered his name!!) Horrible, and he mentioned many of the things I did above. 

Good thing people are still throwing money at Britney Spears. (one name I wish I couldnt remember!)

It was Joshua Bell. There was a story in NPR about this.
