I don't know how many of y'all were orchestra/band geeks back in the halcyon days of pimply youth, but I spent many, many, many, many hours of my life playing violin or viola at ungodly hours of the morning and evening, and oddly enough, had the good fortune to attend schools where this actually made you...cool. I know. Madness, but it certainly made it easier. One thing that didn't was having to play the wretched, ubiquitous, proto-minimalist "Pachelbel's Canon". I know everyone just lurrrrves it and it seems to crop up frequently in celebrity interviews when they talk about how much they lurrrrve 'classical music' to which I would like to say...'nuff said. We used to call it the TacoBell Canon because, let's face it, we hated it. And we weren't very clever.

Our nephew is a drummer and he pointed me to this hilarious and well done video. I bid you to enjoy, but warn you that you will have an insidious ear-worm for a while afterward.
