Another one, then I'll stop.
I think I was about 10 years old when I got my first Spike Jones and the City Slickers records. In many ways, they make up the core of my musical self. I'm working on making them more of a surface feature of my music but that is a rather difficult process. It would be like pulling out those "piano pieces" I wrote when I was 6 and trying to turn them into a "real" piece.
Anyhow, this video shows just how talented these players were. I showed this to my orchestration class after our string unit...
Check it out. Right here.
