This video proves that you, too, can be a virtuoso if you can hit all the right notes...even if you can't hit them all in the same take. (Thanks to Jeff Esworthy and fark.com for the tip.)

It seems like an unusual combination, but beginning this Sunday, an AM radio station in Los Angeles will try a mix of classical music with conservative talk shows like Michael Savage, Laura Ingraham and Glenn Beck. The Los Angeles Times wrote about it this week. Okay, the classical music only gets a few hours each week. Still though, an interesting combination. Wonder if it will work?
