30 Jan 07 - 12:33 PM (#1952573) Subject: RE: BS: Top 100 ocarina blowers of all time From: Jerry Rasmussen I finally had a chance to see the movie Freaks last night, after reading about it for years. It's a fascinating, very warm, humorous movie. At one point, Cleopatra is caught red handed putting Ptomaine into medicine for the dwarf she has married for his money. Two other dwarves are in the side show wagon and see her doing it. One of them is playing an ocarina. Make that two good ocarina players. Three if you count me when I was eleven. Jerry |
