Amazing Machine

This is crazy (if real):


This incredible machine was built as a collaborative effort between the Robert M. Trammell Music Conservatory and the Sharon Wick School of Engineering at the University of Iowa . Amazingly, 97% of the machines components came from John Deere Industries and Irrigation Equipment of Bancroft Iowa ; yes farm equipment!


It took the team a combined 13,029 hours of set-up, alignment, calibration, and tuning before filming this video but as you can see it was WELL worth the effort.


It is now on display in the Matthew Gerhard Alumni Hall at the University and is already slated to be donated to the Smithsonian

Hey Nathan,

Just a quickie to wish you a Happy New Year! I did not make it home last night, so I stayed at Randi's house (in his spare room.) I should be home after lunch.

I am not a big Country Music fan, but I saw this and thought of you. I know it isn't JT, BSBs, or any boy band, but there's nothing wrong with it...

He pulled me along and I fell for it.

My bottle of prozac is looking mighty fine...or a gun...this crap always happens to me.

Hello Nathan,

I just noticed that the address on your blog states Lloydminster, AB...I can't believe I was sooo stupid. Where do you live Lloyd or Bonneyville? I guess it's just another lie on top of the others! Anyways, I'm in the process of getting drunk and was checking out the net and found the clip below...I thought of us...
