    Blue Jumper I'm having trouble deciding ...

    ... which of these two pieces of music is more impressive.

    What do y'all think?

    Cello Wars

    or

    Bring Him Home

    Bart Smith, continuing to be awesome since 1982 so that you don't have to.

    Love is a duet, each voice complementing each other and making them sound better than they would alone, each voice at times stepping back and letting the other shine. We've got a pretty good duet going Tina.

    On April 28th, I'll be marrying my best friend. I can't wait!

    Tough choice. The first is more fun, but the second one is a hauntingly beautiful piece of music. My vote goes to 'Bring Him Home'.

    I would have had Vader come in a lot earlier, putting an end to the boring, non-inventive video, with a clean lightsaber beheading of the clowns with cellos, then finish up with Vader playing the Beer Barrel Polka for the outro. A mostly bad idea, done badly.

    Bring Him Home is an average piece, played with some feeling, with average skills for a concert cellist, and unknown recording quality. Listenable, but just barely. Needs two glasses of wine to help me ignore the weak spots.

    I love the Piano Guys! My favourite video so far is the Carol of the Bells for 12 cellos:

    I think they both would be better if they had more cowbells!
