That video … very entertaining, and loved the band’s coordinated dance moves!

I think you have peaked too early in 2026! Well done!

Andrew
Thanks, Andrew. Maybe we'll convert ya next time. Dave and I practiced those moves for weeks. wink

I initially read the title as "Money in the Barrel" as I have 4 mini--actual-barrels which are money boxes and were meant for friends' grandkids and my great-great-nieces, but the first thing to go wrong was that they should have had names inscribed on metals plates, but the barrels arrived without them, which must have been a synchronicity as it turned out they weren't wanted as all of the kids are already using cards and thus don't save cash! Well, ya can call me a pre-postmodern venerable rear end breezy one (Waoist woke for 'old fashioned old fart'), but I still like cash! The money boxes - which are actually very cool - are now destined for a charity shop. … I probably am, too! laugh
Thanks, Chay. I don't think all of the money I ever had could fit into a single barrel, but I really like your story. Thanks for that, too. Maybe you could get them all a barrel-shaped money card and just put in a credit card for them.

Toe-tapping goodness.
Fantastic work by everyone involved.
Video almost in sync with the music in some places.
The bassist strums one-note chords.
And your dance choreography is ace.
Smiling during all my listens.

More please!
Thanks, Brain. If I took more time and paid more money, I could've had those guys dancing and singing perfectly. But there's not much creativity in the process. Creating for the ears is more my speed.

Enjoy whatever happens!
