Leah Yehjo and the DOOdz - Cocoa Soap (Official Music Video)

  • 4X Law of Volume
  • 4 Dollar Sunday
  • Video From Jacob
This is a video Jacob Scardino sent me.
I don't know who the other "dudes" are, lol.

I see myself playing the bass and us all cleaning up on Royal Street....
Hell, maybe I could afford to start drinking again if that were to work out, what with all the micro-brewed lagers a stone's throw away, ha ha...
OK, so would the 4X Rule Of Volume also explain, then, why the trumpet player you've mentioned makes so much just playing things like the Eentsy Weentsy Spider? -Alex in California
Yes, the trumpet, like the horn on an automobile, is loud enough to benefit from the law's effect. It states that the doubling of a busker's volume will quadruple his income.
ꝸ * ʃ ² = $
Where represents talent and ʃ represents decibel level.

By the way, it is "Itsy Bitsy Spider," and not teentsy weentsy, that the trumpet guy who plays by the wharf where the Natchez steamboat docks.
He begins to play after the steamboat has come back down the river into view and is drawing nigh, but still a good tenth of a mile away from the wharf.
He does this so that the people on the boat will hear him. From a tenth of a mile away, they will, and when they arrive safely on shore without the boiler having blown up and scalded them, then they will somehow connect the lonesome strains of trumpet they had heard from out on the river, as if the city itself was welcoming them back, to what they are hearing when they stand in front of him and he becomes part of their "A Ride On A Steamboat," experience.
The guy might even leave after the boat does again and then go grab a bite to eat, returning in time to start playing again as soon as the boat is within a quarter mile.

  2. It *is* the Itsy Bitsy Spider! Where'd I get "Eentsy Weentsy" from?
