“Arthur, you will thank me for this one day.”

A boy with a crush on Amy Farrah Fowler.

He obviously only plays in the high register.

Shortly after this portrait was finished, Arthur was found crushed under his giant harp. Tragic.

“Sit on this and pirouette, Mom.”

Kathy PearlmanHis given name was Adolph, but he changed it to Arthur long before Hitler was well known.

If there’s one thing I can"t stand, it’s small kids and harps.

Parents, take note – how to create a future electric guitarist.

“This here’s a number I like to call Folsom Prison Blues.” Johnny Cash’s early musical training was somewhat different than most people imagine.
