More music... A simple concert-hall video (so you can put it in a background window and do something else while listening to it), but note that the pianist is (a) not using sheet music, and (b) 12 years old.

Wow. I've never seen Princess Leia move that way before.
And now for some more Lindsey -- I stumbled across this over the weekend: Lindsey performing at the Pioneer Day Concert in Salt Lake City, Utah a month ago -- with a full orchestra and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir backing her up. Can we say "hitting the big time", boys and girls?
Nice try.

The announcer in Bob's clip described her as a 'hip hop violinist'. I wonder if that's a reference to the way she bounces around the stage/where ever she happens to be performing. 8)

I'm tempted to toss this song into The Game Everyone Loves To Play.

I don't know who designed a computer that you have to take apart to that extent, just to clean a fan. But they did something wrong. (that or the song makes it out to be worse than it really is)

Wouldn't be surprised if it was. Looks like the only fan for the thing was on the CPU heatsink, which is way beyond anything that's customer-servicable in a laptop. And even if you do get it cleaned...
Reminds me of a poem from one of Ciardi's books. "... You certainly are a crackerjack! Are you smart enough to put it back?"

No, that was more or less accurate. A few days ago I had to take apart my laptop to almost that extent to get at the fan. That's how I found the song, googling for instructions. Only thing that was in the song that I didn't do was take out the RAM. (Why would they think putting screws UNDER the hard drive is a good idea, anyway?) I'm just glad there were only two sizes of screws (well, three, but there was only one of the third, and that was to hold in the DVD drive), otherwise putting it back together would have been far more painful.

I presume there's another song telling you how to put it all back together afterward?
