"Here's a clip of the vintage Korg Blackboard synth played vertically (wall-hung)! If you've never tried playing a keyboard vertically you don't know the struggle -- however, Owen did great with this tough part of the song."

  1. In the P. D. Q. Bach Christmas show one year, they started a solo sketch with a bearded, bespectacled fellow wearing a tuxedo jacket and pink long johns with no trousers who set the music on the piano. The audience was stunned into silence until nine year old I, sitting between my parents, burst into maniacal laughter that I just couldn't hold in any more. The fellow turned and just stared at me as if I had cursed his mother. The rest of the audience laughed heartily after that. Then, they brought out the soloist, who had apparently been in a car accident or had just had surgery. He was on a gurney that was wheeled up to the piano, so that he lay on his back with his face beneath the keyboard. After a few struggles, with assistance, to get his hands up to stay on the keys, he played some incredibly complex number of P. D. Q. Bach silliness with astounding dexterity. While lying on his back playing on a keyboard backward and upside down that was facing away from him. So, you try and beat that. Just try. That is at least the equal of Buddy Rich drumming in the air as he and his drums spin head over heels, or Keith Emerson doing the same thing with his six foot grand piano.
