I didn't know, at first, if the video was meant to be taken seriously or if you took it seriously. So I ended up a bit confused and didn't comment on it. <br /><br />Since you mentioned it again, I watched it again and decided it was a very droll satire. I like it because it's full of real-sounding names of people and because the guy speaking seems to hold these people and their contributions in such high esteem. I think I didn't comment on it at first because I felt insecure about your opinion of it. But with a second viewing, I think it is very clever and witty; so much so that it took me a while to form my own opinion about it. I'm hoping you agree.Bill G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04142837879175561312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-87197696270276438612012-03-05T20:15:41.489-06:002012-03-05T20:15:41.489-06:00Thanks for that one JD.

He would howl while I played the piano at times...not always, but sometimes. One snowy winter night I was outside scooping the drive while no one else was home. I heard the piano being pounded on, accompanied by howling, so from the front porch I looked in the front window and saw Tarzan up on the bench playing the keys and howling almost the same as that hound....it's probably an old dog standard.<br /><br />Needless to say, that brought back a lot of memories.Avg Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02301873113962640644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-82304690597592184622012-03-05T20:08:43.892-06:002012-03-05T20:08:43.892-06:00JD@8:01

It's long held the alternate meaning you implied, but I didn't realize that it had crept into the public domain.
