Won Over By Reality

Tim BayerBRIGHTON New York—(Weekly Hubris)—2/11/2013—Last week, in this space, I shared the hilarious story of The Lone Ranger & The Hippie Freaks. There’s a segue between last week’s offering and this week’s.

As you are probably aware, the theme music for The Lone Ranger TV series was Gioachino Rossini’s “The William Tell Overture.” But it’s likely you have heard only an orchestral version of the famous piece. This was indeed the case for me until Kathleen Fink sent me a link to the video I’m sharing with you this week.

Here is . . . a completely different . . . presentation of “The William Tell Overture,” using just one instrument.

Watch and be amazed by Buddy Greene, on the harmonica, at Carnegie Hall.

(If you come across an entertaining link or video, I would be interested in seeing it, and sharing it with my readers at Weekly Hubris. Please contact me at: Email: tim@safegdriver.com.)

Meanwhile, here’s Buddy Greene.

Tim Bayer, Webmaster, and Assistant Editor of Weekly Hubris, was born and brought up in Webster, New York. He attended St. Bonaventure University, earning a BS in Computer Science, and then worked in the hi-tech world. In 2002 he turned his creative energies to product development and video production with the release of his first independently produced products. When the demand for web site design and freelance writing increased, he once again switched skill sets . . . to writing and web work. An avid or, to be more accurate, rabid, disc golfer, he may often be found chasing plastic while in pursuit of the perfect round on a disc golf course, or designing and developing disc golf products for Demogrid.com. He says he tries to find the humor hidden in everyday experiences, because, “life is too important to be taken seriously.” (Author photo by Tim Bayer. Author Head Shot Augment: René Laanen.)
