Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach  

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

It's a cool bit of graphic design.

Music Query:

What do you call the metal bars you hit on a glockenspiel or a vibraphone or a xylophone? Are they called keys, or what?

FAQ Wife confirms:

Weirdly, they are simply called "metal bars," or, for short, "bars."

Is there any good reason why go-go music never really made it outside of DC, aside from a song or two 10 or 15 years ago?
