Trans-Siberian Orchestra & Science Project

We took Grandma to the Sprint Center for the Trans-Siberian Orchestra just before Christmas Eve. There was great music, electric violins, and an amazing laser show for the sold-out crowd. Captain said the drum pit looked as fun as a cockpit! Now we understand where his passions originated, and why he received a trap set for his 15th and 40th birthdays. This led Meggar and I to devise a scientific poll. (No standard deviation.) We found that 100% of the visitors to our basement will touch the drum set and nobody ever touches the three library shelves nearby. Amazing! Nobody says, "Look--they have The Chronicles of Narnia and Mr. Popper's Penguins and a stuffed Wilbur to go with Charlotte's Web." Why are the drums such a magnet? We will have to do some radioactive testing and publish our results in "Modern Electricity" or "Rolling Stones" magazine.
