@jRent2011 ...? Uh... I'm pretty sure he's been around before Demitri Martin.
-
clever comedian
-
@jRent2011 Yeah but you can also say that Demetri Martin Stole his comedic style from Mitch Headburg.
-
He stole his comedic style from Demetri Martin. Even his tone and intonation. The same.
-
there are many canons, which are just musical rounds but with a new phrase every time instead of looping back to the original
-
@Supersmooth007 Have you tried playing it with cello?
-
@Beedahpianokid Yes you do.
-
@Beedahpianokid Likewise, the 2nd violins

Do you know what! - I see the funny side of this but I am going to have to agree to disagree, because there are Politics involved! - No seriously! Johann Pachelbel was one of the most prolific and best German composers of the 17th century! I love Canon, I play it on piano and have heard it at weddings etc. It is mesmerising!

As a cellist who occasionally plays weddings, it is my responsibility to count all the tramp stamps on the bridesmaids as they proceed slowly up the aisle to my endlessly-looped 8 freakkin' notes. I'm then required to give an accounting to the rest of the quartet, as they are too busy to look up from their endless, noodling prattle.
Gawafullest piece of pseudo-music written in the past 300 years.
Rob is my hero.

"He once dated a cellist, and she dissed him really bad, so for the rest of his life he came up with the worst cello parts he could ever think of." Looks like Pachelbel held a grudge...
