On Famous Pairs and Falala for Five Hundred

I expected that riff at roughly 2:40, let I still laughed. The dueling piano was a bit of a surprise, and they managed that, and their stage business like pros. For all their tedious leftism and nihilism those two sure could sing harmony. And pick and grin pretty darned well. And the dumb one was very good at the slow burn. Too bad they lost me as a potential member of their audience.

^yet^, not let.

I wasn't a member of their audience either. I found the video as a fluke, with you-tube leading me forward to places and pieces unknown after the one I originally clicked on to watch (involving a choir followed by a barbershop quartet vid)) had finished playing. I too enjoyed the piano surprise and was also surprised by that pair's talent, paired with and playing along with G and S's playful and serious musicality. Included in the mix: famous and infamous pairs, Innageorgia, Innagaddadvida and Elsewhere, who've listened to and made deals with the devil.

The really funny moment is when the piano player "duels" the opening of the Grieg Piano Concerto.
