[Dixielandjazz] Bending over backwards

[BILL SHARP]

I sent this to a friend - -   You're going to watch it and perhaps ask the same question he did:   " But why?"

 It is unbelievable that a human body could do this!

And now I shall justify my posting this video on DJML -- - - -I immediately saw that this video does relate to what we in the musical world do:  The performers spent countless hours perfecting this single performance of just a few minutes in order to amaze audiences around the globe - - so they're exactly like musicians in that regard.  There is not a bit of difference. And we all know how we've all bent over backwards to do a good job.  Additionally, after hearing some of the performances of modern jazz, I also ask myself that same question:  "But why?"  This video, thus being a perfect example of what we do therefore does belong on this mailing list, don't you think?  (I wonder if the contortionists  ever think outside the box?).
