It's Fun to Play the Piano ... Please Pass It On!
I actually have a genuine pig call from my days as a Hoosier in Southern Indiana. I daresay I'm the only one on this site with such a claim. Unfortunately, my hog callin' is better than my pie-ann-uh playin'.
Of course, Monica is from Ol' Kaintuck, maybe she's called a hog in her time.

Just my teenage son, I have to say.
As a one time teenage son, I'd have to admit there wasn't much difference between me and the hogs come dinner time. Except maybe the hogs had better manners.
I'll tell you one thing, they got weak hog callers in Illinois. This is embarrassing.
I was going to have a ham sandwich... now I think I'll just open a can of soup.
I liked the young guy wearing the sun glasses.
I wonder if they could work up a choral number?
"Imagine it in all its primatic colorings, its counterpart in our souls - our souls that are great pianos whose strings, of honey and of steel, the divisions of the rainbow set twanging, loosing on the air great novels of adventure!" - William Carlos Williams
"We design and build prototypes. More recently was the production of the fiberglass pigs for Seattle's "Pigs on Parade", one of our favorite projects."
Looking at the upholstery on the inside of the Swineway reminded me of an old joke:
While out on a dig, the brothers Archie and Olly Gist unearthed a rather unusual box. Inside they found a very little man seated at a very little piano. Obviously surprised by the discovery, Archie asked "Who are you?" The little man cheerfully replied "I'm Johannes Brahms." Taken totally aback, Olly queried "What are you doing in there?" "I'm decomposing." came the reply.
(you may groan now)
In fact, Brahms was known to be a bit of a ham.

It's much easier to bash a Steinway than it is to play one.
swineway.com apparently is a registered name, registered by some June Bachman from bWyse in Washington. But they don't seem to have a webpage. Not sure if they are related to that pig we see?
And then I remembered the pigs of Schweinfurt (Pig Ford) Germany. They are all over town and painted to be related to the local sponsoring business; "Pig Mac" for example. I like "Albert Schweinstein", but the puns in German and English go downhill from there.
