Today's Video Links

Here are two more videos by my new favorite pianist, Lord Vinheteiro. In the first, he plays the Woody Woodpecker theme song the proper way…which is to say, dressed as Woody Woodpecker. If you've been trying to learn this tune and it's not working for you, try putting on your Woody Woodpecker costume. As you can hear for yourself, it helps…

And that's the prelude to this video in which Lord V, turns off the sound on the 1946 Woody Woodpecker/Andy Panda cartoon Musical Moments From Chopin and supplies his own real-time accompaniment. He does a good job but it might have been even better if he'd worn the Woody Woodpecker costume and better still if he'd swapped it out now and then for an Andy Panda suit.
