  1. That's really clever! I think that's the music from the scene in Koyaanisqatsi where the projects in the Bronx are demolished. A nice touch of irony, if that's the case.

  2. Don't you mean:

    That's Philip Glass. That's Philip Glass. That's Philip Glass. That's Philip Glass. That's Philip Glass. That's Philip Glass. That's Philip Glass. That's Philip Glass.

  5. I over heard one of the contractors say that there wasnt anything worth even trying to salvage from the house. Someone asked the same thing while I was there watching some of the demo.

    Still great work!
