    Lets start playing Rotation!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    One of the craziest shots I have ever seen. What is the call?

I imagine there were many painters that put as much time and effort into their painting in Rembrandt's day...and as many people (probably more) put as much energy into their music as Mozart...but could never produce...
