Leroy Anderson's “Typewriter”= c’est magnifique

I received this from a friend:
TO ALL MY MUSIC LOVING FRIENDS WITH LONG MEMORIES~ this may ring a bell! Best performance I've ever seen of ‘Anderson's Typewriter’. This will put a smile on your face.

My daughter Joni couldn’t figure out what the machine that man was using was ^‿^

Of course, she’s too young to have ever seen a typewriter, let alone a manual typewriter!

She belongs to that first generation of people who grew up with affordable video conferencing! I recall when she was about 1 or 2, and she was used to seeing daddy on the computer / TV screen Skyping from the office with mummy... one time I had a video I had shot on the TV and she started waving to the image of me on the TV, trying to interact with me... while she knew I was in the very same room with her!!! ^‿^
