That reminds me a bit of the classic "Octopus Jig" that the Dubliners used to do back in the day. It's on youtube:

I've been having the same problem.
Maybe it hasn't propagated to youtube's Southeast servers...

If you get the "unavailable" message from YouTube, just try later this afternoon. Sometimes I find that newly uploaded videos go on and offline repeatedly until they make their way fully through their system.

Very impressive! But can anyone play a tune, reverse hand positions and play it again?

This is what happens on a slow day at the session. A couple of Irish coffees, a video camera, and ... :party:

The first time trying this, BTW, and it was unrehearsed. Gives new meaning to the term "double jig"!

And the sad thing is that whereas Eng enjoyed tippling his Guinness, Chang was a teetotaller, a Baptist and a member of the Temperance Union, so when they visited the pub, and when Eng savored 5 or 8 of his favorite brew, Chang ended up drunk as a lord.

Oh, hell. Mark Twain did it better. read about Chang and Eng in Personal Habits of the Siamese Twins.

Yeah, the conversation went something like:

eskin: Wow, it sure is quiet in the pub today. It's great for video recording.
MTGuru: Hey, let's try the dual whistle trick like the kids in that Ryan Duns clip.

We may be brilliant, but not necessarily original. :wink:
