For anyone that hasn't looked at the link on the main page for the group The Wrong Trousers you're missing something pretty special. The song choice might not be your cup of tea but you've got admire anyone that steps up or in this case sits and takes a break on a harp.
Their MySpace page is here. I'll note they are playing Telluride. Talented kids.

Scott calls them spiffy. They are indeed.

ok that rocks. I love the geeky-coolness, and anyone that names themselves after an Aardman production is already a winner in my book. here's hoping for much more to come.

Hey Mike,
Someone mentioned something about them here. #
These kids are truly a class act.
I hope we see more of them in the years to come.

That's what I get for just searching the titles for the wrong trousers.

I don't want to show my inner geek, but I like them.
A couple of mandolins
A couple guitars
An Upright Bass
Some banjos
Life is like a box of molases, or somehting like that.
It's OK, I do too.

I like it! The harp is just too cool and the way they have found to build a sound around it is very creative. Off the beaten path...I'm OK with that!!
The mando player has been a regular attendee at the Mandolin Symposium. Very nice guy and played a mean mandocello too.
