Same with the triangle. I wonder if the metal rod to hit the triangle is called the biangle.

The first bit of Can-Can is pretty hard on the triangle player.

A pretty good arrangement, I would say.

I once saw the genuine Moulin Rouge dancers live at a village fair in rural France while on a hiking trip. (someone probably paid a lot for them to come over). I spoke to people drove 500km just to come and see the show. I found the Can Can costumes much more interesting than the half-hanky-and-a-paperclip 'bathing costumes' that came after it.

What I like about Offenbach's 'Can-Can' is that it is being performed in Hades in the original opera. smiley - laugh It's a great joke.

Probably not in the Elysium department of Hades, I guess...

Asphodel was already covered by the Limbo dancers... If you hate that you should either be definitely good or evil.
