Think we could get someone to play Tchaikovsky?

Not as good as ours, but since we don't have anyone film it ans set it to music for the net, I guess this will have to do.

Oh and check out these fireworks in Indiana:
Ashes to flashes: Pyrotech's cremains will be 'last shot' of Indy fireworks


For 40 years, Meredith Smith brought the Fourth of July to the sky over the Northside of Indianapolis. He and his wife, Charlotte, did it as a community service.

In February, he died at age 74.

Tonight, a little bit of Meredith Smith will burst over the White River as this year's finale, the community's way of giving something back to the school maintenance man who was a trained pyrotechnician.

About a half-teaspoon of his ashes are inside a shell that will punctuate the night with a white burst. (Indiana law allows cremated remains to be disposed of on property of a consenting owner, uninhabited public land or in a waterway.)

"Meredith felt like the people in this area didn't get the opportunities that other people got, and so he wanted to give them the opportunity, Charlotte Smith told The Indianapolis Star (a Gannett paper). "Sometimes, we took the money out of our own pocket."

Residents donated more than $10,000 for tonight's display. They'll also be decked out in T-shirts memorializing "the last shot."
