# Ah, but can he play
the Marimba?

I'd be very impressed if he could.
In fact, I'd crown him King of All.

# Is the Marimba
contemporary?
I don't even know.
Sounds ancient to me.
In the way Tetris can only ever hope to be.

# well, the instrument's very old
 
I mean contemporary as in contemporary western art music - what used to be called "twentieth century".

# In the same way
as the Didgeridoo became contemporary in the 19th?

# I expect he can.
He is very accomplished. I remember seeing him play in the 70s/80's when he was a bit fitter and he played with four mallets.

I'd not be surprised to hear he has a Marimba as well as his xylophones at home.

# Sir Patrick Moore
is worthy of all my respect.

I want to meet him, and listen to him play beautiful music all night.
