And what a band ! Those who were fortunate enough to be present are still applauding. Of all the clever contraptions contrapted to ruin the finest of our musical classics. Maybe I shouldn't say ruin; perhaps interpret is a better word. However, the Duck's band proves that there is music in anything that will make a noise.
