I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. We went to my sister-in-laws for a few good days with the family. Amazingly, we mostly encountered reasonable traffic during the 3+ hours of driving each day.
The initiation of this post came from two unrelated sources. First from Patti, the author of Learn More Everyday, who gave thanks to her dentist – yep – simply because she was better after the office visit.
The second source was a good guy named Ed, a person that I got to know well during a 2009-2010 project. Recently I have been thinking about Ed and the others at that location – then surprisingly I to a message from him. Knowing that a have an interest in the unique, he provided an interestingly link to the MozART Group, a Polish string quartet.
OK – the title of his post includes musical drill. I mentioned Patti’s thanks to her dentist and contact from an Ed in my past. For those who remember and enjoy Victor Borge, you will enjoy this musical treat. Have a good week.
I LOVE it–thanks. Would my visit were so short! This clip is better than the one I thought of, the torture scene in The Running Man, but since my visit did not prove painful, I decided against posting that video. Yours is better.
Patti,
Glad you enjoyed it … and cheers for your role in inspiring this post! Thanks for visiting and hope you had a good holiday!
Hi,
That was hilarious.
Mags,
Glad you enjoyed it. Interesting to see how different people react (which was never my intent). Thanks for commenting.
That photo makes me think of Marathon Man.
Bruce,
LOL …. and thanks for stopping by.
HAHA, Loved it.
Sami,
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for visiting and commenting.
dentists are never funny. ever. they’re evil and scary.
Nonnie,
Thanks for sharing your fear.
Scarier than the GOP slate?
Oh, my God! I had to stop the video. Nonnie’s right. It was uber-scary. I hate going to the dentist. Not funny, Frank; not funny!
On another note: how does one imbed a YouTube video into a blog post? (Remember, I am not exactly the brightest star in the sky when it comes to technology, so you’ll have to keep the language simple.)
E-Tom.
Ohhhh …. sorry about that. Heck, I spent enough time in my dentist’s chair in the past year that I expect an invitation to the office holiday party. Then again, as Patti proclaims, it’s the end result of the dentist’s work that matters.
As for as the embedding a YouTube video. Directions below. Consider practicing my embedding a video in a comment here.

NOTE: No spaces .. it will be one long string. … Thanks for visiting!
Thanks for the schooling Frank. I did a trial run and it worked! I’m posting a story tonight, so we’ll officially see if the video holds. ET
E-Tom,
You are very welcome. Hope it works.
And now I know why you show up for so many youth symphony orchestra concerts!
Tim,
I should ask you to explain … but I won’t. Hope you had a bountiful holiday and thanks for visiting.
lol! That drill-like sound almost made my teeth hurt.
Robin,
Now it hits me … this video is a combination of musical wonder and acoustic torture. Thanks for commenting.
Loved it!
Hansi,
Thank you … especially after receiving some negative vibes. Thanks for visiting and commenting.
Funny stuff. Makes me miss Victor Borges that much for.
Thanks for the fun interlude, Frank
El Guapo,
Finally – someone who gets all the connective references. Plus, this video seems very Guaponian. Thanks for commenting.
Oooh, I’m with the terrorized crowd. My childhood dentist, Dr. Dragon (no, I’m not making that up), set the pattern.
But thanks for waking me up — I was starting to fade for the evening!
Else,
Thanks for visiting.
Oh my … Dr. Dragon. LOL … although I brought back those images, at least I woke you up.
Elyse, let me ask you something. If you needed YOUR wisdom teeth out, would YOU go to Doctors Hammer and Chippain?
Sometimes, I really miss the obvious clues…..
Pass on the video, sorry. My only acceptable state for dental work is total unconsciousness!
Thursday and Friday were just weekdays, as the wife had to work. Had an interesting chat with the Pastor on Sunday, hopefully we can get something worked out on the drive. Otherwise, I’m gonna have to see if Padre Steve can set me up some naval gunfire support!
Have a good week!
John,
More importantly, hope the pastor who spoke with was helpful. Be strong!
Oh no … not you too!
This video is really cool. Very nice.. thanks for posting this. Great post as usual
Kay,
The piece was fun to play (for most of us, but my wife had a very boring part), and it was very pleasant too. Sure wish our choir would have recorded it for YouTube. Thanks for visiting.
