Random Thoughts from Michael's Random Mind

Oh yeah! Take That!

The neighbor's next door stereo is too loud argument has been going on for years. It probably began when Ug banged his rocks together too loudly and upset Gok in the next door Condo-Cave, but I digress.

I couldn't help but smile and enjoy the inventiveness of a certain Houston, Delaware, man we'll call him Barney V, took first the high tech and then the high volume approach to some serious cranked Bon Jovi at his neighbors abode.

Mr. V has been feuding for several years with his neighbors over their loud rock music. So what's his first mode of finding a solution?

Invent something!

Barney invented a device, which which remotely rendered their stereo equipment useless, pretty sharp cookie eh? But alas the long arm of the law was there to slap down Barney's ingenuity. A judge curtailed the device's use.

So what did Mr. V. do? He started writing and performing his own music and not just your average loud music. No, Barney started to experiment.

His first piece?

"Sonata for Calliope of Truck Horns About to Be Transcribed for Locomotive Horns Opus No. 1". That got the neighbors attention and the issue has been settled peacefully and out of court.

Details of the arrangement were not available to this scribe.

It does take me back to my early days of composition and of course the famous: "Boston Pots 'n Pans Clanging in D" or the "Dog,Cat fight Aria for bloated Opera Singer", and of course my masterpiece."Baby's Screaming Cacophony Concerto in C sharp".

Barney, by the way, lives in a house shaped like a flying saucer. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Very funny post! Speaking of noisy compositions, my husband could contribute the "Snoring Man's Sonata." LOL!

Thanks Mom...
One of the joys in my radio career is digging up these little gems and sharing them with everyone.
