That's not Wagner's fault; he died in 1883.

Love this.

In elementary school, classes would be taken to attend a performance of the local symphony. I'll never forget it, especially their building shaking Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries and Greig's In the Hall of the Mountain King. Pressed my folks to buy me an LP with these on it right after too.

It's a classic optical illusion diagram befitting of Shugart's on line persona. Big Grin Big Grin

I think it's part of this contraption, in the spirit of M. C. Escher :


Bald1, you beat me to it.
So have a look at this Ride of the Mountain King vid. Cool




God bless America.
