    Director: "Ok, everybody, remember to wear a black shirt." 2nd guy: "You're not the boss of me! I'm wearing dark grey!"

      I believe this was probably an artistic choice. . .

    The is considered to be the greatest of all pieces in the entire canon of works for 4 pieces of wood.

      And yet these guys decided to go rogue, and play 5! 😀

    I have played this at full volume whilst I potter around with bits of wood in my shed, and I can safely say this is most definitely "Music For Pieces of Wood".

    Enchanting execution! I can literally hear sanskirt being chanted by the woods! This is sublimal!

    The poor guy in the middle had to play quarter notes the whole time lol

      Dude, this is my favorite gig. Played in the engine room of a gigging steel band for a few years. Exploring the various qualities of quarter notes is like exploring the physics of subatomic particles.

      He's the backbone of the entire piece! All the more complex rhythms play off him! He keeps the entire thing grounded.

    Reminds me of the "rhythm band," which was a common feature of first, 2nd and 3rd grade in the late 1940s.

      A duet, with one octopus, and one Mantis shrimp - they could pull off an excellent performance, for sure. Although, how would they go without any sheet music to follow? It wouldn't be a problem for the octopus, but how good is the memory of a Mantis shrimp?

    Is there any reason why they are wearing ear piece? Do the woods make very loud sound?

    Once you hear the middle guy playing "skeet skeet skeet skeet" you can't unhear it.

    The last guy to play had me thinking: "But, Marge, that little guy hasn't done anything yet. Look at him. He's going to do something, and you know it's going to be good..."
    It wasn't. :(
    I still appreciate it, though. (But backflips or a little jig would've been nice.)
