    Flanders and Swan were very funny - especially the time they added the words to the tune of the Mozart horn concerto and made it into "I have lost my horn" One of the cleverest musical parodies ever!

    This looks like a totally different age. I was a toddler at the time. But then i remember that just 13 year later, my high school teacher recommended the book and I read it, which feels like yesterday.

    It would be great to have this remastered to fix up the changes in the recording's speed. Sounds like someone is twisting the tuning pegs back and forth on that piano... 😅
