      I remember the entire family gathering around the television set to watch this back in the day. Of course, back then television had no sound so it was hard to make out what was happening most of the time. But my brothers and I would get so excited to watch the man with the rubber wrist!

    Dude,
    It is a pleasure to enjoy this spectacle, incredible how it embodies our concience. The complexity of the timbres and harmonies is breathtaking at how vibrant they are. The parts of the instruments or orchestra, in some cases, complemente each other, the voices that make up, the melody are added together and result is a bombastic sound that can make you laugh and cry without precedence.
    Keep up the great work and sensational partnership . I’ve become a huge fan since last year by spotify, youtube and instagram.
