Sunday Glasharmonika Music Blogging

Fixer likes ta play that highfalutin' classical stuff. Well, two can play at that game!

Invented by Benjamin Franklin in 1761. Music by Wolfgang A. Mozart. Played by French artist Thomas Bloch, exhibiting the glass harmonica in the Paris Music Museum, Nov. 29, 2007.

From elsewhere at YouTube:

The instrument, an invention of Benjamin Franklin, was quickly banned after its inception. It was said to provoke insanity. The unique harmonics have also been said to import therapeutic powers.

Yes, insanity is therapeutic...
