    I know they weren’t tears…but still.

    Beats the heck out of the seagulls. 😉 Equilibrium restored.

    I told you elephants were Modernists.

    Heart warming to say the least. Thank you.

    I kept waiting for the elephant to start singing… : (

    Very nice. Pedal-pushers, mandals and purse, too. Now, try that with an African bull in must.

    1) reminds me of the excellent film, “Water For Elephants.”
    2) unfortuately, *also* reminds me of those eco-sexuals in love with trees….
    3) the piano needs tuning. desperately.

    Gives a new meaning to ‘tickling the ivories’.

    either the moon is made of green cheese

    or that piano was way, way out of tune.

    next time get a well-tuned concert grand out there

    and play that pachyderm some Rachmaninoff.

    rabbit – LOL
    I imagine getting that heavy piano out there contributed to the detuning.

    My favorite Debussy tunes after “Girl with the Flaxen Hair.”
    One of my most favorite composers. His compositions were dreams in a time of terror.
    I adore good music. Me and the elephant.

    I enjoyed this so much more than the ancient film clip by Thomas Edison when he electrocuted an elephant. That shit really happened, but here’s a video describing Tesla’s misadventures interacting with Edison. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gOR91oentQ
