oh, you're praying to God? he's not gonna fuck you you know
When I was a kid in Chengdu, China, there’s a public phone number you could call to ask about general stuff like train schedule, the weather, phone numbers to businesses, etc. I thought I could ask them anything, so I once called the number and asked “do pineapples grow on trees or the ground?” and the operator, after a moment of silence, said “go ask your mom” and hung up.
typewriter!
I love the orchestra trying and failing to maintain a straight face throughout
Exactly. These people had to rehearse at least a few times all at once yet when it's nkt their turn to play they still look at that guy with the typewriter as if he was the most fascinating thing they have ever seen.
My husband's wind ensemble played this song when he was in high school! you can do it with normal auxillery percussion, but it's so much more fun if you do it with a real typewriter
now that is a writing mood
they were really like, the only reasonable approach to this piece is to insert a clown at the center of the orchestra
