I had to play the screaming part in a concert two years ago one of the best memories I have to this day

[@carolinemassey5517]

What was Richard on when he composed this??? I mean seriously this could not have been created without drugs involved.

[@michaelflores6253]

Too easy? We played schubert- overture der teufel als hydrolicus. In my sophomore year and passacaglia. In my freshman we played bacchanale by saint saens and Gluck overture. Also mozart no.25. Yeah my high school went out there

[@WillTheBassPlayer]

You kidding? I love to play this my senior year. It's just fun and lighthearted. It's certainly no technical masterpiece, but it'd be a nice fun part of a show.

I’ve never played this before, but it sounds so fun and playful! I don’t know how Richard does this.

Lol! It reminds me of the musical comedy bits Danny Kaye use to do in movies. Anyway, that’s my cuz who I haven’t seen in years! And his mom, my Aunt Barbie was one of the sweetest person’s you’d ever want to meet! She’d be so proud of how he’s lived life and all he’s accomplished! 😊🎶
