The Elephant-Human Piano Duet

ad_121745624

Peter the elephant could not resist tinkling the ivories when pianist Paul Barton visited his sanctuary.

And while the pair duetted on 12 Bar Blues, Peter’s younger neighbour, Soi, danced to the rhythm. He said Peter’s reaction in a sanctuary in the mountains near Kanchanaburi, north-east of Bangkok, was completely spontaneous.

Though, after watching the video, I am not entirely convinced Peter wasn’t trying to suck Paul’s brains out through his skull.

About

I design video games for a living, write fiction, political theory and poetry for personal amusement, and train regularly in Western European 16th century swordwork. On frequent occasion I have been known to hunt for and explore abandoned graveyards, train tunnels and other interesting places wherever I may find them, but there is absolutely no truth to the rumor that I am preparing to set off a zombie apocalypse. Nothing that will stand up in court, at least. I use paranthesis with distressing frequency, have a deep passion for history, anthropology and sociological theory, and really, really, really hate mayonnaise. But I wash my hands after the writing. Promise.
