Little Douglas saw a mouse. He ran to tell his mother, but became mixed-up; instead running to tell the mouse that he had seen his mother. The mouse did not understand, which frustrated little Douglas to tears. Meanwhile his mother gnawed holes in the baseboards until all of her teeth broke to pieces. The mouse began to produce a foamy spittle which grew and surrounded its body in a stiff capsule. A sort of hermetic seal, really.

The current world record (set in Poland last year) is 27 musical saw players playing together. Could we set a new world record on July 18th? We need your help for it! Please join us and be part of a Guinness World Record breaking attempt at the 7th annual NYC Musical Saw Festival: When: Saturday, July 18th, 2pm Where: Trinity Church, 37th street corner of 31st Avenue, Astoria (Queens), NYC. Admission: $10 Info: www.MusicalSawFestival.org

Hope to see you there, and please - pass the info on - we need to get as many musical saw players to participate as possible to set a new Guinness World Record!
