A HANDY TALENT
Young comedian makes unique music

WHEN SCOTT RUDDY plays Eidelweiss, you
don’t immediately think of The Sound of Music; in

fact the sounds created by the 14-year-old’s perfor-
mance sound more like Donald Duck.

Scott’s musical instrument
is his cupped hands, which he
works in the same way

children squirt water in a
swimming pool. |

In fact that is how he
began his dubious musical
career. After squirting water
in a pool one day, he found
that by doing the same thing

out of water he could make
sounds with his hands.
Scott’s training in playing
the trumpet helped him with
the mechanics of playing
music with his hands, and he
began to play along with

commercials
games.

Scott then began to prac-
tise well known songs and
worked up a repertoire of ten
songs, including Eidieweiss,
On Top of Old Smokey,
She’ll be coming round the
Mountain, Star Spangled
Banner, Chariots of Fire, and
Star Wars.

After winning the Argyle
school talent contest last
year, he now has an agent and
has TV appearances schedul-

and hockey
