Sampling 101

Congratulations to long-time Handyfan Jeremy C. Ellis for submitting the closest (a.k.a. “only”) guess as to what my next video would be about! I hinted that the first two letters were “S” and “A”, and Mr. Ellis ventured “salad“. In a way, Jeremy is right… if you think of it as a salad of sampling!
The two main ingredients in this week’s salad are: a set of orchestra bells, and a common rubber band. (Learn the trick that sets the pro ‘bandists apart from the amateurs!) It’s topped off with a dash of my odd personality and musical know-how-what-when-why. (And it took way too long to edit — but hey, all’s well that ends well.)
Jeremy: you have until midnight 6/20/07 to claim your prize. What? That was last week? Ah, better luck next time!

Heh. Luckily, I did pick up my prize last week. Thanks for the toaster!

But how did I know to send it?
Wait a second… TOASTER?? The packages must have gotten swapped. Oh God! DON’T PLUG IT IN!!!
I hope it’s not too late…

I know what you’re thinking, folks, but rest assured, it was not an exploding toaster. It was merely a music box that played “I want your sex” and then ejected some rather compromising polaroids of myself. The company has arranged for Jeremy’s revival with smelling salts and therapy, and all nine of the photographs have all been safely returned to the vault.
Wait a second… NINE??
