    Pachelbel’s Canon in D is definitely a great piece. I’m playing it in a Woodwind Quintet.

    This comedy routine is absolutely inspired. The ironic thing is that Canon in D isn’t actually a canon — it’s more of a passacaglia.

    “Let It Be” isn’t really the correct four chords (the last one is different) but “I Want To Hold Your Hand” is.
