Who Woulda Thunk

090704_013P.jpg

We were browsing through a thrift store in Warrenton, Oregon. I came upon this album. I wouldn't have ever imagined that the zither could be romantic. Go ahead and google Toni Noichl. He really does exist!

By the way, when one plays the zither, one does not "thunk," one plucks.

John, I was retrieving a battery-powered device of amusement that had accidentally fallen therein. After being cleaned, dried, and supplied with new D-cells, the device hummed as if it were brand new and the variable-speed control switch operated smoothly yet decisively. Its owner was grateful for the refurbishment and thus happiness prevailed.

Rob: I certainly hope that is his sister. Dave, tell us again what you were doing in the privy.

I can attest to the romantic power of Mr. Noichl's zither-playing. He provided the pleasantly persuasive background music for a sermon given by the Bhagwan Hotair Windbag of Antelope. Title of the sermon: "Sacred Paths to Oneness that Omit Sandstone." Many of the women in the crowd were won over by the Bhagwan's words and the accompanying music, causing a sudden and long-term decrease in the number of unoccupied rooms in the Bhagwan's Blessed Dormitory of Concubines. I know because at that time I was doing volunteer work as Second Assistant Deputy Battery Replacement Technician for Devices of Amusement (SADBRTDA) in the aforementioned facility: in that capacity I was summoned to nearly every room to resolve crises of electrical power and was privy to all sorts of inside information.

Is that is sister behind him? This album is way too racy for children!
