Hi all,With the passing of a National Treasure like Andy Rooney, I was wondering, what instrument would you associate him with?...I'm not talking just Percussion here. I know that this is a straight forward site, but this guys passing effected even a media hating SOB like me.I would compare him to an old, early 20th Century (real) Trap Kit...all the Bells, Whistles, Chimes, Woodblocks, Splashes, Cymbals & Drums...I think he liked being clownish & would have appreciated someone in the background doing sound effects behind his dialog. What comes to you guys minds?

I like the introduction and definition of "busker" on that video. But would Andy Rooney sell faulty products to rural natives?

I was comparing Andy to the washboard, (in answer to the original question,) not trying to define him as a 'busker' according to Webster's definition. Just wanted to make that clear. Cooked EggJohn

Andy wouldn't even stoop to selling his autograph, much less some bogus product...even though he was on a program I hated, he was worth the price of admission. The guy had a truly unique mind & was a very creative writer!RIP Andy, you were a true American & one of the few people on the "Boob Tube" that made me think!...too bad you couldn't have made the show you worked for think in a non-partisan manner as you did. You were one of the few people who really called it as you saw it. Thank-you!Dan
