I started watching this video and thought I would close my eyes and try to imagine what it was like at the movie theater back in the day then I realized that if I were at a movie theater the last thing I would do is close my eyes and it totally pulled me out of the moment.

WOW! He has a lot of joy in what he is doing, too. I enjoyed seeing that.

[@kennethpurcell9243]

astounding! what a fabulous tune played on a fabulous instrument! It's like a one-man Spike Jones' City Slickers. Where can I hear that in person?

[@thomashenden71]

Imagine Spike Jones with one these instruments... :-D

[@sryburn641]

Oh wow! I’d love to play around with that cool time machine! That’s so neato.

That tune was revived in the 50's. Carleton Carpenter and Debbie Reynolds sang in in a movie.

WOW!!!!:)

Slowing the playback speed down to 85 makes this much more entertaining, more like a carousel band organ.. unless you're on cr*ckc*caine and like it super fast as in the original video.

Way down in the Congoland Lived a happy chimpanzee She loved a monkey with long tail (Lordy, how she loved him!) Each night he would find her there Swinging in the cocoanut tree And the monkey gay At the break of day Loved to hear his Chimpie say: "Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab," Said the Chimpie to the Monk "Baba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab," Said the Monkey to the Chimp All night long they'd chatter away All day long there were happy and gay Swinging and singing in their hunky-tonkey way "Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab," Means "Monk, I love but you." "Baba, daba, dab," in monkey talk Means "Chimp, I love you, too." Then the big baboon one night in June He married them and very soon They went upon their aba, daba honeymoon "Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab," Said the Chimpie to the Monk "Baba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab," Said the Monkey to the Chimp All night long they'd chatter away All day long there were happy and gay Swinging and singing in their hunky-tonkey way "Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab," Means "Monk, I love but you." "Baba, daba, dab," in monkey talk Means "Chimp, I love you, too." One night they were made man and wife And now they cry, "This is the life," Since they came from their aba, daba honeymoon

The tempo was set way too fast here. He's set it at like 85-90. Would be better at its suggested 75-80.

[@zontar3x23]

As usual, the tempo is toooo fast. Maybe OK for a Keystone Cops chase but not much else.
