Cello Joe

Meet Cello Joe.  He plays his electric cello at events around town.  How does he electrify his cello?  By having a volunteer ride a bicycle attached to a battery, of course.  Bicycles powering a blender and now a cello.  What a town!  Don't know why he wears pyjamas to perform.  Comfort, maybe?

    Playing in his pyamas must give him a feeling of freedom. Nice new header!

    I bet it was a cool sound. And I wouldn't mine having some PJs like his either.

    I actually have heard an electric cello before. But, not one powered by someone riding a bicycle. Nor, one played by a man in colorful pajamas. Well, I surely can't beat this!
