Link to Engineer's Guide to Cats
While we're still on this week's ever-popular themes of satire and cute cats, here's another video for you to enjoy -- roughly seven minutes on Man's Best Casual Acquaintance.
Aside from the overall execution of the core concept (outstanding), I love the 1960s Farfisa combo organ outro music over the closing credits. Nothing sounds quite like that. Well, unless it's a REALLY good simulation. (And now you know what kind of nerd *I* am. Well, one of several kinds, at least.)
And thus I pose to you a musical challenge: Can you name the heroic music that the producers of this video use to establish the mood, starting at 3:14 and ending at 3:40?
The first reader to post the correct answer (composer and title) to "Comments" below has the option of buying any item via the new link in the left sidebar, titled:
Please Shop At My Amazon Store.
...and receiving a $5 rebate from me on any purchase. I'll keep the contest open through April 20 and post the answer on April 21 if need be.
[FOLLOW-UP, May 17: Well, no one ever answered this one (shock!), so here's the answer: It is Verdi's Requiem. You can hear some clips of it HERE.]
Wishing you a beautiful day,
Bill Brent
