Did anyone capture the hobo poetry accompanied by bagpipes at the Durham NC event? That was a great night. Thanks John for the many guffaws.
Thanks, Suzanne--we shall check out the B-side and doublecheck our Faulkner references. Are you the Shakespeare scholar?
Slippmann--I do believe some audio was captured of the bagpipes (his name was Daniel, no?), and I'm as eager to hear it as you are.
a rather large (26MB) video of the poetry/bagpipe mashup is here:

Christa, thanks for posting the video! I bet other people will now show up to readings bearing their oddest musical instruments trying to wrest Jonathan Coulton from his position as official Hodgman Troubadour/Mountain Man.
Christa mentioned the word mashup and that got me thinking...John, have you considered recording a vocal-only version of that poem and "groupsourcing" other mashups? After the 700 hoboes project, who knows what could come out of it?
Just read that tonight is last tour night. I guess Mr. Coulton is safe...for now.
