Lio by Mark Tatulli for February 05, 2012

He’s trying lio, he’s trying…

The tryangle is the only one for me.

Bagpipes, accordian, bass drum and triangle — Ishy is talented. Of course the racket will be heard in the next county.

Bagpipes are one of the more difficult instruments to master, mostly cuz’ you first have to be a “blow-hard” to even get started.

As with anything else, played well & the right song, bagpipes & accordion sound great melodically. Bass drum & triangle are of course, percussive & played with restraint & good timing, also add to a musical piece. No idea of Ishy’s virtuosity or lack thereof. Yours on wind-bag,Juke

Thanks, GatoCat. I miss Larson… and Crumb.

Lio’s expression suggests that Ishy may not be quite the virtuoso of his aspirations, but if he ever gets it all right, he’ll be a GREAT one-squid band!

Thank you for showing that excerpt from Larson’s The Far Side. I really, really miss that comic.

Well, early in the mornin’ I’m a-givin’ you a warnin’Don’t you step on my blue suede shoes.Hey diddle diddle, I am playin’ my fiddle,Ain’t got nothin’ to lose.Roll Over Beethoven and tell Tschaikowsky the news.

What, no oboe?

Ishy probably sounds better than Madonna’s half time show.

Ah, yes. The Mozart Sonata for triangle, accordion, bagpipes and bass drum in C Major, K350.

Miss The Far Side…..but hey!… all those banjos and guitars would be more fun than sitting on a cloud for eternity.

See what Ishy does with bagpipes.

The Irish music taste Is constantly eroding This explains why bagpipes Sound like cats exploding(Write not to me an angry letter: I’m one half Irish, one half Setter)

Oh, and to whoever mentioned the notorious Cow Bell: personally I’d almost rather hear the sound of a Buffalo Chip………

I love it and highly recommend it to all.

I concur

Now introducing the one band squid!

Bagpipes rock!

That’s something I would definitely do if I could do that while riding on a flying peacock
