Piper and his Banjos

In the trick work, it seems Mr. Piper is concluding with a less showy feat (playing and juggling four instruments) than his whirling of seven earlier. Piper's best is the rapid spinning of two, playing both simultaneously. Each trick, though, brought voluminous applause.
Several bows were taken by him before consenting to play the "Pilgrim's Chorus" from "Tannhauser." They liked that, as well.
