It's about time

Wouldn't you say? Yes, yes you would. Well Jack does at least. Frequently.

Speaking of time, if I was to ask you to name the most famous piece of classical music from the18th century - or better yet even of all time - what song would you name? I'll bet there would be a ton of votes for things like Vivaldi's Spring, or Beethoven's 5th symphony. I have to clarify that by famous I don't necessarily mean the best, or the most acclaimed - I simply mean the most recognized, the most familiar. The good Lord knows it should be with the same chord progression repeated 54 bloody times (thank you Rob Paravonian for counting.) Don't get me wrong I quite like this piece and I make sure that I don't listen to it too often because it is slightly repetitive. That's right, it's Pachelbel's Canon in D.

c
heck out the 'original one-hit-wonder' with comedian Rob Paravonian, and even if you're not a music nerd like I am you'll at least get a good laugh.

cheers,
Dave
