World’s Fastest

Earlier I blogged about the world’s fastest fingers. Jack Cozen Harel sent me an email to draw this (he is the oboist) to my attention:

Of course we all know that speed isn’t what makes music music. Right? But those are fast fingers, to be sure.

Some where out on the ‘net there is a video of someone doing that on a tuba.

Actually, the Canadian Brass version of the Tuba Polka (originally the Clarinet Polka) is pretty awesome (Chuck Daellenbach is a Tuba God), especially where he sings while playing to get the extra notes (I always enjoyed doing that, and I think it actually helped my playing). He might’ve done Bumblebees, too. In fact, I think I’ve got a recording of it…shoot, now I have to go look (most likely it’s in my car, though).
