I went downtown today in search of wooden things to paint, and returned with three kitchen implements, a music box, and a typewriter.
The music box didn’t play, so I dug out my screwdriver and pliers.
After an hour and a half, it was playing again. The melody is a little haunting:
Music Box
And after some fiddling in GarageBand:
Take Two
Can anyone identify this tune?

Next step: finding a ribbon for my new (old) typewriter.

Try singing it (or playing it) into Midori, a site that one of my students presented on last term. It does a surprisingly good job of identifying songs based on melodies.

“Waves of the Danube” c/o Wikipedia
I recognized the tune. Midomi and Chinese translation helped score it.

Ooh, a typewriter. There are moments where I would give a foot to have a manual typewriter again.
