Hey man, don't diss the melodica. I still have the one my Dad bought me in 1971 (all the while grumbling about how much it cost), which I still haul out and play pretty regularly at live shows. Anyone else a big melodica fan? I find it suits me well because I'm so full of hot air...

Nope, didn't make me laugh -- I was too impressed by the musicianship. It's the first time I have seen that level of artistry on that instrument. My reaction to the funny parts was "Get out of he way, you're interrupting the music!"

It’s a cute schtick. Costume changes. Give the proletariat a good reason to laugh at music they think is already ridiculous. Same as it ever was.
Here’s my update on an old musical joke:
“What do you call a musician without a good schtick?”
“A software engineer.”

Don Fagen is probably the only person in the world who looks cool playing melodica.
