That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for September 29, 2012

He’s such a kidder!

St. Martin gets assistance putting on his boogie shoes and prepares to get down with his bad self…

Saint of acoustic guitars

I like the guy to St. Martin’s right sticking straws up his nose.

“Mr.Martin will be tied up today. Would you care to reschedule?”

St. Martin is about to loose his halo. It’s already dislodged.

Forgetting his snare drum, Galeb improvised by playing his face.

Paaaaaa-rrrrrrrrrr-tay tonite! Whose bringin’ the harlots?

This comic really made me laugh but the comments made me laugh harder.

@mbrndt- thanks for the serious side. You keep me learning so much about art and artists. Comics – always an education.

I have played a soprano recorder and occasionally still play it and also the alto. To play two recorders simultaneously is a bit difficult if not impossible because it requires both hands to make the tune. Maybe he did have straws up his nose but musicians are known to do amazing things for a buck.

It’s not exactly a pair of recorders. It’s a double flute. Different notes are played on the two pipes for harmony.

P.S. That’s not me, by the way — just a random video I chose to give you some idea what it sounds like.
