His fingers whizzed along the piano keys

His fingers whizzed along the piano keys playing a dashing musical atmospheric pulse around the concert hall. What the crowd didn't know is that these were the notes of a magical

newt. The magical newt had the power to create amazing music that dazzled the crowd. The conductor hid the newt in his jacket. His orchestra were just "extra's" who didn't really

trump the trumpet, viola the violin, sax the saxophone. These hired actors gave the performance of their lives as the newt belted out original classics from the conductor's pocket.

All was going well until the newt pulled out a delicate musical score entitled A Musical Offering To Onan. It was in 11:4 time used an archaic notation & called 4 impaled heretics.

The newt decided to get everything prepared to put on the musical, wondering if the satanic ritual would actually work.

Despite rave reviews after opening night, the newt's musical failed to attract Satan, who vastly preferred more depressing dramas. But the newt became the toast of Broadway, and

Satan had to admit, the musical Newt was presently starring in -- "Sir Isaac" -- was pretty catchy. Songs like "You Can Count on Me" and "Gravitas" just thrilled Satan & when Newt

performed the heart-wrenching solo ballad just at the end of the 1st Act, Satan leapt to his feet and applauded with great enthusiasm. "I love you Newt!" the Lord of Hell bellowed.

Satan's elation turned to consternation when Newt opened the 2nd Act by his heart wrenching song about the Apple that had led to his greatest contribution to Science. Satan saw it

as a hardly veiled snark at his having offered the Apple to Eve way back then, in the Garden. Newt knew Satan would take umbrage but he was safely on the shoulders of giants.
