‘Rejoicing’ Never Sounded So Bad
by Hal Vasco
What is this? Some junior high school band ripping up Hava Nagila? Too heavy on the tuba, too loud on the snare drums.
What are the tuba players blowing into their horns? Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches? The conductor should have secluded the percussionists in a practice room. Trouble-makers!

Addendum to audio at Kallipygotera:
Back in the mid 1990′s, we found a treasure trove of cassette tapes with various original and homemade recordings, curbside on Confederate Avenue in Atlanta, GA.
A preternatural epiphany, we deigned to produce these select recordings for public consumption. We began to post these exceptional (and sometimes humorous) ethnographic snippets on sites like Virb.
Recently Virb converted to a pay site. Therefore, these found audio files, along with newly created recordings, will be arranged here from time to time at Kallipygotera.
For listening pleasure only.
