WHEN YOU GROW TIRED OF PLAYING THE TIN WHISTLE . . .

and you’re looking for a really cheap instrument. :slight_smile:

could this guy be any more deadpan???

Well, that surely is amazing. The things people think of to do. For some reason it seems like it would be especially hard to listen to someone practicing this instrument. I wonder if he’s married?

You’d think he could put on a bit of a smile. I wonder if he developed this talent to cover up what else he’s been doing to the atmosphere? :boggle:

i just thought he was probably sitting around one day with a lot of spare time on his hands, and one thing just led to another…

i’m not sure if he has a wife. as good as that dude is, you just know he spends every spare moment practicing. not much time left for a wife, i would imagine.

his act is a definite gas.

hmmmmm. he does look a little constipated, now that i think about it.

here’s another dude with the same sort of talents.

i remember this one when it originally aired on “the tonight show with johnny carson.” carson’s reactions are priceless. it was the first time i had ever seen this sort of an act.

i doubt that mason williams ever would have guessed in a million years, when he composed this classic, that it would be performed in this fashion. :smiley:

Damn! Now I’m trying to figure out how to do it. What a waste of a Friday afternoon. :roll:

i don’t know if i would go so far as to call it a “waste.” just think of the possibilities when you get really good. you’re dining in a fine restaurant and you want your date to never forget this special evening, so you let rip with “moon river” while their bringing dessert. priceless. :wink:

At least he had a grin on his face for that one :slight_smile:

appropriate choice of words there :slight_smile:

Could be worse…

That seems like such a waste of breath…who seriously spends 37 years doing that? He looks so mean while he’s doing it, too.

No, not mean. More like … eeeeeeeevvviiiilllll. :smiling_imp:
