Hey it's not midnight yet! Some of you will have to wait until after midnight to get the video to work. Others have enjoyed it all day and can't wait to see what feedback it's gets on Sat.

Re: Chris Thile talks about his Loar
Got, got and got!!! I'm a newspaper writer and always LOVE working on our yearly April 1st story (it involved cheerleaders this year). I try to be cautious, but this just snowed me several times today. Woke up, cutting up a grapefruit and searching youtube for this thing to work. I gotta see it! Ahhh!! Checked back several times. Maybe the link is working now. Nope. Possibly the most snowed I've been on an April's Fools. I sweared I checked it four times before I realized! Good work guys. Love it.

Re: Chris Thile talks about his Loar
nobody bothered to mention that he's actually talking about his "The Loar", and that he never actually had the real deal, he just had his "The Loar" reworked so it looked authentic. That's pretty significant.
Re: Chris Thile talks about his Loar
I have to say, watching Chris play "Rubber Biscuit" at the end was pretty entertaining, especially because he was singing it in a high falsetto. Who would have guessed he could make himself sound like Tiny Tim?

Re: Chris Thile talks about his Loar
I finally got the video to work and, you know, this is the first time I actually like Chris Thile's hair and I think it actually made him play good. 'Bout time he sounded like a bluegrass musician should even though he was playing Bach...His clothes WERE kind of weird like you mentioned, Ed. Why did he keep talking about pickles, also? Weird.

Re: Chris Thile talks about his Loar
.... Would it now not be great if we could get Chris to really talk about all of his instrument(s) and to post this clip on YouTube?
Re: Chris Thile talks about his Loar
Zing!
Thanks to all who played along so well
As many have of course spotted, the video was just an animation of the "loading" graphic at YouTube
Re: Chris Thile talks about his Loar
It's a little blotchy, but at 3:45, I could swear I saw him use his big toe for one of the pedal tones.
Re: Chris Thile talks about his Loar
It's amazing what that man does with his face while he plays.

Re: Chris Thile talks about his Loar
He lost me in the middle with the, Gene Simmons fire breathing tribute. Then it all came together when he pulled out his Loar Uke and did the Tiny Tim medley. The break he took during Tiptoe Through the Tulips was self-indulgent.

Re: Chris Thile talks about his Loar
This is the funniest thread I have ever read. Our Internet provider was down yesterday afternoon so I didn't see it till this morning. What a hoot, Dan you had me going line, hook and sinker until the descriptions of the performance got so outrageous. The funniest of all was Scotts "Youtube's servers are kicking back an error message from the server command line ping. I think we've overwhelmed the video stream and they're limiting acess to just that one. Dan, can you split our IP so they can't detect us correctly?" Captain Kirk at the helm of the Enterprise couldn't have said it better.

Say what you will, I think the crack he made about Sara Watkins was out of line.
