Music: Joyful song on skates

[sonia]

Bend Your Knees (for NPR's Tiny Desk contest) live at Southgate Roller Rink - Henry Mansfield

Somehow it's the drummer who impressed me the most. Which instrument do you think would be the hardest to play on skates?

Keyboard, lol. I like the guy on the French horn or whatever who has elected not to skate.

True! Yeah, that guy with the trumpet (?) fell off? got up off? the desk and then the camera cuts away hurriedly. I'm impressed with the whole performance, and I would watch a "making of" director's cut that tells us how many takes they needed.

I tend to agree with drummer... but I struggle with keeping rhythm standing still, so... :P

[sonia]

Yeah, those are some precision moves he's making!

[conuly]

Wow.

Keyboards and pianos that aren't keytars are the most difficult, but anything that you could do as part of a marching band, you could do on skates, so I think they're all equally difficult once you're in the category of marching band instruments.
