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".
