wwh, have we hit the mighty one hundred tonight (or this morning)?

Your link on Le Pétomane is the most bizarre account I've ever read, both as a teacher and a musician. Now, we do have brass players come to our school occasionally, and one of them plays a brilliant, rocket-fast piece on a garden hose--no pistons, all variations of pitch done with his lips against the mouth of the hose--

But nothing like your link! I am stilling laughing over it--read both pages. And I wonder why there was no mention of him in the summer film, "Moulin Rouge"? That film was so wacky (and I thought wonderful in many ways) that Le Pétomane would have fit right in--right next to the windmill.

Gosh, just when you think you've heard it all...
