Music 201 - 1/28/06 - Period 7 - Class #6 (before the blackout)
Today's junk food consists of hot chocolate, coffee, tea and sugary cookie-type treats.
"Afternoon dudes! Weird weather we're having, huh?
Today's class is gonna be a short one, because, like, there's only so much you can say about the banthabell. Because that's what we're learning about today dudes! The banthabell is pretty big on a planet called Tatooine which is in the same area as the Republic. This," Ted said, picking up an odd bell. "Is a banthabell. You can make all kinds of noises with it. Banthabells are musical instruments that take, like, way lots of time to learn how to play. Anyone can clang a banthabell, but to make actual music with it takes time. Now we're gonna hear a recording of a Republic folk song using the banthabell." Ted played the recording.
The banthabell is a good example of people making music instruments out of whatever they can find. The banthabell is used to keep track of herds of banthas and other cow-but-not-cow-like animals. But then someone started playing one and made music out of it. Most excellent."
Ted went and opened the door and gestured for the guest speaker to enter.
"Today we've got a guest banthabell player, Anakin Skywalker. Banthabell Dude's gonna play something and then answer any questions about banthabell music. Go Banthabell-Dude!"
After the demonstration and questions from Anakin, the class dispersed...just in time for the brief blackout. Spooky.

Re: Banthabell music, huzzah!
What? He's curious and amused!
Re: Banthabell music, huzzah!
He didn't appreciate being snickered at.
"Not a lot going on on Tatooine," he said, shrugging. "You live in the middle of a desert. Most people make their living trying to pull moisture from the clouds if they're not into smuggling. Sandstorms can blow through without notice and destroy your livelihood. I'm amazed that we have any kind of culture at all." He glared. "Even if it wasn't to your taste." He paused. "And they're just called banthas. Think really big cows. With tusks. Who can kill you if you're in their way and they get spooked."
