Inspiration at it's finest

After all the stories I've read and my own personal experiences of scrounging trash and turning it into "liquid music", I thought this story was fit for a look. I can't post a link (only web access is my garbage phone), but a quick web search will find it...

Search for "Cateura orchestra"

It's the story of a town grown up around a trash dump where the kids don't have a chance. Then someone has the idea of bringing music to the kids, but they have no money for instruments. Enter the trash. There's a guy who makes violins out of cake pans, cellos made out of oil drums, etc. I found the whole thing parallel to repurposing cookware, drain pipes, and pot scrubbers for making our "giggly goodness".

It was on 60 minutes last night.

Yeah, but I've seen their ratings so I thought I'd call attention to it here.

I want one of the trash made guitars. I bet that old guy can't make them fast enough to sell for ridiculous prices now. You would have like the story best of the night. Pull it up and watch from inet.
