Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for February 21, 2021

good work, Petey

Good music can do that to ya!

It’s all in the interpretation.

Maybe they will make it into a ballet.

Hey Alice and Petey: Perhaps Andrew Lloyd Webber will adapt this into his next musical, make sure you get a fair cut of the royalties!

Never know, do you, Petey?

Petey was in the zone.

Petey’s nonplussed by the narrative power of his talent! Shame we can’t translate the strip’s sound balloons into actual audio.

The open minds of these 2~love it!

The artist is never his best interpreter.

Ahhh – the arm around each other. That’s special.

That may be a powerful performance, but it’s certainly a powerful interpretation.

“Wild thing, You moved me….”

The baby grand sat in our house for 5 years and badly in need of a tune up. While my wife was away I decided to learn how to play “Fur Elise” on it. When I showed her, all she did is complain how the piano is out of tune. OK dear, I’ll stop, and we can still get rid of the piano.

I found myself trying to pronounce every note that came out of that oboe.

i love their interpretation of Petey’s little concert. they had the advantage of getting to hear the monkey’s sadness it while i had to imagine it!

Laughed out loud. Reminds we why I’ve kept reading and rereading these on my list fir many years. Truly a classic strip

Right on, brother!

Music has a way of speaking to all.

Funny – I didn’t understand any of it but still thought the music part was very sad!

It is even more dramatic when played on a holophonor.

Shock the monkey to life.

Oomaboogy Wow Wow Wow, Petey… ☺

Pet my monkey. Pet it!

Wow indeed. And Petey was able to express those emotions! Wow!!

Just wait till he gets into the comedic stuff like Samuel Barbers “Adagio for Strings” (It’s available for almost every instrument)…

Anyone know where I can buy the sheet music?

I guess the shrinks call it Transference. Poor little monkey, bearing up under all that Alician and Dillian anxiety and guilt….

haha, one of the best ones.
