Loose Parts by Dave Blazek for July 02, 2010

Is that a status cymbal?

He needs a clash test dummy.

Since I have a feeling lots of people won’t get that, from Wikipedia: Clash cymbals or hand cymbals are cymbals played in identical pairs by holding one cymbal in each hand and striking the two together.

Well let’s see. We’ve tested cymbals and fiddle bows, next we’ll check the cannon used in the 1812 Overture……..

No, you can’t do that with the trombone. Ah, what the heck

Lewreader - I think we’ll just let that one slide.

rw1h - We did the 1812 Overture in high school, our “cannon” was firing 30-06 rifles with wax slugs into a 50 gallon barrel. Indoors.

Just what IS the cymbalic meaning of this piece?

Is it one more shallow instance of bowing to the inanities of common culture?

What about the conductor’s baton through the heart problem?

The puns…the puns! Oh, the inhumanity of it all! LOL

There’s too much sex and violins in classical music. (Sorry, lin4869.)

That’s “sax and violins”.
