Petr Spatina - glass harp

The haunting music used in the new Skoda advert prompted me to do a little googling...

Skoda made a very nice well crafted machine gun back in 1909.

They don't make them like that anymore, and in 1914 the haunting music was "rat a tat rat a tat", played by Germans.

I tend to hold a bit of a grudge, Kae. Sorry.

It's not about the car.

Hi Kae et al

Here's a great cover by Linda Ronstadt where the Glass Harmonica or Armonica is used ... I find it very mesmerising ...
