Alright my fellow Philistines...

... time for some culture. Mix J.S. Bach's prelude from his violin partitia #3 with the down-home sound of the banjo and, well, see for yourself.

Not unlike what you would expect
a transcription to harpsichord to
sound like.

Pig ears do not silk purses make. Please pass the asprin!

"The man that hath no music in himself, Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, Is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils; The motions of his spirit are dull as night And his affections dark as Erebus: Let no such man be trusted."

Merchant of Venice, V,1 - Shakespeare

Okay, you can either pay $3.00 for 60 tablets of 81 mg. enteric aspirin off the shelf - or you can ask the pharmacist for some 81 mg. no name brand enteric aspirin and get 120 tablets for $1.35, which would you rather do?

That's for "the old man" who needs the aspirin and he's right, silk purses cannot be made from pig ears.
