The Greatest Marimba Orchestra Ever!

Contributor Tim H. sent along this little tidbit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rapKdd6aUI that harkens back to a time and place where people made real music for the sheer joy of it all. Strangely, all the keyboard instruments are backwards (maybe this was a gimmick) but they are played musically and with accuracy nonetheless.
