Kansas farmer blows trombone at his poor cows
mainDerek Klingenberg of Peabody, Kansas, amuses his herds with trombone practice. That’s two herds – the 2.8 million people who have watched this video in the past two days of their own free will, and the poor cows who have no choice.
Shame their response is (largely) unrecorded.
Similar to this profound study of the social dynamics of orchestras:

Now wait for the Vaughan Williams jokes to roll in.
Interestingly, when I was rerouted to the YouTube site, having clicked the title link, RVW’s third symphony was listed in the suggested videos column (along with Elgar’s Romance for Bassoon & Orchestra, Pierre Fournier playing three Bach chorales and an extensive listing of standard YouTube rubbish).
For what it’s worth, Norman, the cows are obviously enjoying the show. Note them running toward the music, unlike many of our contemporary audiences….
And for those who don’t recognize the music, it’s “Royals” by pop singer Lorde.
Glenn Gould did something similar.
