“Fight Against Stupidity And Bureaucracy”
.
I’ve been feeling a little bit guilty ever since I inflicted Mrs Miller upon you (sorry about that, but click here if you don’t know what I am talking about or, and this is unlikely, you want to hear her again – Mrs Miller).
So to help to redeem myself here is a little musical interlude for the weekend. Not the typical selection – we don’t do typical selections on the fasab blog – but nothing as bad a Mrs Miller. In fact, although unusual, some of it is pretty good.
I hope you enjoy.

Bravo! Tough to pick my favs, but I tend to marvel at percussion, although my background is with brass. The hip-hop drummers were awesome. Blue Man Group is a long-time fav (seen two shows), that carillon was intriguing … and yes, there is a carillon close to us, thus have attended a concert. Thanks for the shout out, too!
I thought they were all interesting in their own ways. The hip hop drummers were great and I saw the BMG when they were in the Luxor in Vegas but I came out of the show not knowing quite how to describe it to others – just told them it was worth going to see!
Also thought the ukulele orchestra was interesting.
Thanks for your comments, glad you enjoyed the show 😉
PS: One for you.
🙂 Very good!
And saying as you are into percussion I’ll see your one string willy (if you’ll pardon the expression) and raise you a drummer with no hands.
Yes – thanks for the show! You have redeemed yourself from Mrs. Miller. I went straight for the glass harp but then viewed all of them. Even liked the hip hop drummers.
Thanks a lot, I can hold my head up again. 🙂
Yeesh! Hammered dulcimers! Lord, EVERY friggin’ Renn Faire I’ve ever been to has HORDES of ’em. They’re not bad her and there, but as a steady diet? AAUUGGHH!!!
Okay, I’m better now. 😉
I never realised there was an “instrument” called a carillon. I’ve heard the term used as a substitute for “bell tower” when there’s multiple bells in the tower – like at West Point or out in San Fran. Thanks for that bit of enlightenment!
That makes two of us, I didn’t know either until I was putting this post together. So I guess we’re both a bit smarter today 🙂
I really,really want a hang drum…
I agree. They’re quite the job, aren’t they.
I’m on youtube listening to their playlist… I think this instrument is for me…
Where do you get them? I didn’t really do any research, just heard them and thought, hmmm that’s interesting.
No idea… Wife’s problem now, I put it on for fathers day next year… 😀
😉 attaboy!
I checked Wiki, and now I’ve got a headache from info overload! If you want, though, I’ll check the Net for ya tomorrow – either music stores or scrap metal dealers, I’d imagine. 😉 😀
Or maybe you could buy two woks and stick them together???
Whaddya know – the Hang created by Felix Rohner and Sabina Schärer in Bern, Switzerland.
Cool, learn something new everyday..
