Nice instrument stands, too:

I thought this had already been done:

I thought you were talking about these people
One of the vegetable orchestra’s instruments.

There’s an old song named “Sweet Potato Piper.” Evidently it was sung by Bing Crosby in the Road to Singapore. I have it on a 45 rpm record done by Glenn Miller and his orchestra.
I’ve been looking for the lyrics on line so I could post them here, but I keep getting caught in dead ends or my popup blocker goes crazy.
Pigs are not edible!! ![]()
Speak for yourself!
I see what you mean about popups…but I was curious and Opera could handle them, so here it is:
SWEET POTATO PIPER
“Music soothes the savage”,
That’s a well-known phrase,
But your heart becomes
Full of kettle drums
When the sweet potato piper plays
Go on, throw your hat up,
Shout a few hoorays,
Cause you can‘t hold back
You’re a jumping jack
When the sweet potato piper plays…
Though it’s not a magic flute
There’s a fascinating toot
It’s not exactly beautiful,
It’s sort of like an‘ I don’t know
I guess you’d call it cute!
Sunbeams try new dance steps,
Songbirds sound their a’s,
And the world joins in
With a great big grin
When the sweet potato piper plays!

(Dialogue between Marion Hutton and Tex Beneke)
Marion Hutton:
Hello there, Texas, whatcha say?
How come you’re whistling,
Why don’t you play?
Tex Beneke:
I’ve been messing with this Sweet Potato all day long
I can’t make it play,
What goes, what’s wrong?
MH:
You’re crazy, Texas,
You’re outta your mind
You can’t blow that
That’s the eatin‘ kind!
TB:
But them baby rug-cutters down Texas way
They been blowin‘ on Sweet Potatoes
And really make ´em play!
MH:
Why don‘t you stick to your saxophone, man?
You oughta know you can’t jam on a yam…!

I see those girls have small ocarinas.
Yes but check out those maxo low whistles in the background! I bet they honk!
Pigs are not edible!!
…but lets not forget…
Pigs are so yummmy!
Pigs are so yummmy!
Stuffed pork tenderloin. Need I say more?

Walden:

That’s how I like 'em.
Beans. Eat the instrument now, face the music later.

Good work Bonequint!!! Thank you! That’s exactly what’s on the 45. I’m surprised it still plays - there’s an awful scratch on it, but it still sounds ok.
BTW - dogs like pig ears and pig snouts as treats.
HAPPY ST. PATRICK’S DAY
Not exactly edible.

We ought to have an “organ building” party tomorrow…
I’m sure, collectively, we could build one hell of a bottle organ! ![]()
