Did the cellists turn their cellos upside down before playing, then offer up their instruments as a sacrifice to the gods before lighting them on fire?

No, the Gypsies are more visual people anyway.

The New York Philharmonic played Jimi Hendrix on Tuesday night

What was the score? I'm betting Hendrix lost.

Nnnyess - please inform the 2nd violinist that a Stradivarius shouldn't be `played' with one's teeth nor should it be set ablaze at the end of the performance!

Who won?

Little Wing would have been a better choice- although that would probably have lost to flight of the bees knees.

Considering how much a good cello costs, probably not.

Can't find a good GIS of a rib cage xylophone.

I assume that was how they "played" Jimi

/I knew his father. Good Guy.
//Good Golfer

Did they play their own version of "All Along the Watchtower"?

/It's fracking close to New Jersey!

Hey, the London Symphony Orchestra covered Cypress Hill on the Simpsons so why not?

I have a CD of the London Philharmonic doing Pink Floyd. Great stuff.

Did they add a clap track?

Kronos Quartet used to alternate closing their shows with Purple Haze or an oldies medley. This was a long time ago and I'm old. Get off my lawn.

Shame they didn't play it along with the fireworks, though, or at least the 1812 Overture.

/was there too
//thought the flautist nailed the solo
