| There's an amazing video floating around YouTube that has brought a ray of sunshine to a very dark week for all of us. It's the trailer for an upcoming documentary called Landfill Harmonic, which focuses on one remarkable group in Paraguay: an orchestra that plays instruments created out of literal trash, made lovingly for them. |

I've seen that. It is good. Why not just link to it though? |

I have linked to it. |
To enhance your pedantry, you haven't just linked to it. |

Well I think it is bad form to not give a snippet of what you are linking to. |

I didn't understand the link at first either. Thanks Pilsbury. I have seen that before, but a good idea. I have heard proper violins with a worse tone than some of them. Some of the bits; the bows and bridges for the violins for instance are bought ones, but presumably someone put some money in to form the orchestra. Hopefully it will give those young people a chance to do something else with their lives than sort rubbish. |
