Chico and Harpo on the Piano

Huge fan and seen all their films in the past but hadn’t seen this for a while. They were both extremely talented musicians and this shows them at their comedic best.

Forgot to post Harpo doing what he does best, playing the harp but just came across this in my collection, the formidable and incomparable Victor Borge, whom I don’t believe at least in my lifetime will see another of his ilk and brilliance.

If it's true that Harpo played the harp then what did Groucho play?

The guitar. Close, but no banana.

You beat me to it, yes the guitar..here are some interesting details about him especially the relationship with Queen who named two of their songs after the brothers.

John, I just realized the humour. Bit slow today!

Can’t recall which brother it was but when one of the brothers died a reporter stupidly asked how he felt. His reply was better than him:-)))))

Fantastic. I last played piano when ~13yrs old, over 30 years ago. Something I intend to restart when I retire, but that's a long way off yet!
