I like to imagine he's writer a very strongly worded letter to his conductor about why he should be allowed to bring his typewriter to every single practice.

[@vapetlover]

It's not easy to do that without it jamming! I learned to type in high school on that kind of typewriter. I lived through the excitement of my first electric typewriter, to the IBM selectric (a wonderful machine with the little ball that bounced around), carbon copies, the mimeograph, ditto machine, the thermofax, Xerox copier, IBM Memory typewriter, and the first word processors --with screens!, and then the fantastic tech revolution which exploded into what we now have. It has been a great trip!

[@glindakitty]

I wish it had shown a close-up of the front of the typewriter, because it's very similar to mine - a Royal portable my mother got as a high school graduation present. In 1934. (And yes, of course mine still works...) Also, the Selectrics were wonderful machines. The only memory typewriter I've used (two lines stored in it, I think) was an Olivetti that I hated - I typed faster than it would go. Their techs insisted that wasn't possible, so we got the salesdroid in, and I started typing, and yes, it stalled out. I got my Selectric back for another couple of years... Mimeographs and the smell of that ink...

When I was in 10th grade (1968-69) taking "typewriting" (yes, that's what they called it back in the OLD days), my teacher had us take "speed typing" tests while playing this Leroy Anderson composition!

[@kell4674]

Wow! Back in those days, typewriting was strictly a 'no man's land' where I grew up. Typing and shorthand was taught only to girls in order to enter the commercial world as stenographers and secretaries.

Pure genius magic with the classic typewriter piece! 😀

[@Ninatv2007]

I do not speak English, so I translate with a dictionary. Sorry if I misspelled my comment. Human talent knows no bounds. This is an excellent musician "typewriter" when interpreting a classic with an instrument that did not exist at the time the work was created. I have seen playing music from your finger along the edge of several glasses of water, blowing through hollowed-out vegetables, tones for cell phones, etc., but this is new to me. I really liked and made me smile. Greetings.

Anyhow, I was just talking to a young lady about the "days of typewriters" when suddenly there was that name "Leroy Anderson" - and the tune, of course - in my head. And thanks to KZbin, within minutes I could rediscover it and enjoy it (totally!) once again, after all these years. Nach all den Jahren. So ein Genuss. Tausend Dank! Gruss aus England.

It could be worse. Leroy Anderson and others before him, like Leonard Bernstein wanted to write full classical symphonies, but the days multiple movements of a piece of music that lasted up to a full day, were over, and very unlikely to pay the bills, especially in America. Wagner's Ring Cycle Opera is a two day even in Austria. That is for "one" opera. They do serve alcohol, so all is not lost, just don't pass out and or puke. That privilege is reserved for US Presidents like Bush 41. He will merely considered "unexpectedly ill from exhaustion". You, on the other hand, will be looked upon as "a sloppy ass drunken American ingrate".
