Re: Our future audiences
SInce this "Jazz for Cows" has gone viral - I even saw it on "Countdown!" - please (at least) identify it as such so we won't have to see it again.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Re: Our future audiences
A fabulous violinist was a child prodigy, then a huge success on the concert stage. His audiences grew in size to the point only the largest venues could seat them all. But then...
His audiences began to shrink. The violinist kept practicing and getting better by leaps and bounds but the crowds kept getting smaller and smaller.
The violinist became so frustrated he took a long trip to Africa to spend time alone and regain his perspective. He walked off alone a long way into the jungle (rain forest - if you must). He then jumped up onto a tree stump, closed his eyes and played his violin from his very heart of hearts. He played a long,long time before he opened his eyes.
And when he finally opened his eyes, he found himself surrounded by thousands and thousands of animals of every description. Up front were tiny birds and chipmunks, then hyenas, leopards and lions. In the rear as far as he could see were huge rhinos and elephants.
The violinist was so excited. He had found his new target audience - not just people but animals and birds - maybe fishes too. He closed his eyes and played again expressing the thrill and excitement of his being so musically fulfilled.
'Bout that time, a huge black panther, perched on a tree limb just above the violinist, leaped down on him and ate him all up - chomp,chomp, chomp.
The huge crowd gasped in horror - oooooh!
A monstrous huge lion walked up to the panther and asked him, "Man, why did you have to go and do that. We were enjoying the music."
The panther put his paw up next to his ear and said, "Huh?"
