SUPER MARIO BASSOON QUARTET

A friend's daughter s hared this on Facebook and I normally cringe at the mere mention of the word "Bassoon" (they don't call it the "clown" instrument for nothing) as my brother played on when he was in band in Junior High, but this is geeky cool.

The narrative indicates it is by the Oberlin bassoon quartet and there are 12 samplings of different Mario games tunes.

FREE VEGGIETALES CHRISTMAS MP3 ALBUM "THE INCREDIBLE SINGING TREE" AT AMAZON.COM

I know it seems a little early to be thinking about Christmas as Halloween just ended, but actually there it is less than 2 months away and right now Amazon.com is offering free MP3 downloads from
VeggieTales "The-Incredible-Singing-Christmas-Tree"  for a limited time only.   My son loved VeggieTales when he was younger and if you are going to have any kids around at Christmas they would probably enjoy hearing the songs.

One thing I have found using Amazon.com's MP3 downloads is you will want to install their MP3 software or you are going to have problems getting it to play.  For more info and link to their downloader click here.

The site indicates that "by wiring the needle and a conductive piece of fabric, a melody can be played through by sewing through the switch".

Not exactly sure how it works, but it is geeky amazing.
