#10 I like how he called a national symphony a "minstrel show". Racist much, Stevey?

#11 ah..nothing like waking up to a good cup of coffee and a good laugh at rantburg. Unless of course, you are "Anonymous" - poor little fella missed the bus. I'm sure Stevestra-d will find the humor once he sleeps ~~it off~~.

#12 ......it was reported that during an interlude in the performance someone in the audience was yelling "play Skynryd!". Later, a seemingly innebriated Sen. Graham was reportedly being seen escorted from the theater.......

#13 Later, Sen. Graham was overheard asking the violinist if he could play his "fiddle." Something about a "Fox on the Run"...

#14 Ok, I take my lumps on the typo.

DragonFly, you sure that wasn't Senator Byrd (D-KKK)?

#15 Steve. I am almost certain. See, Sen Byrd was outside actually playing "Orange Blossom Special" on the washboard.

#16 I've got a cousin that plays the fiddle in a band in Louisiana. When he strikes off with "Orange Blossom Special", it'll bring a tear to your eye! When his wife joins in, things really get moving!

#17 .......Sen Byrd, while playing a washboard outside the venue was quoted as saying "that Yo-Yo Ma plays pretty good, didn't know oriental's could a civilized instrument," at that point, the Senator asked if anyone was interested in hearing his rendition of "the Wreck of the Old 97."........

#18 Uday obviously wasn't in charge of the symphony. Their fingers still work correctly.
