I had piano lessons as a youngster and brought great joy to my teacher ... by eventually giving up.

Here's a thought:

If you put show tunes through an enigma machine, what would you get?
Enka ? Rap? Or just a free trip away with some men in white coats ...

lol, I sorta predicted it would sound like crap...

Sorta like the solid-gold fiddle from Futurama.
