Pigs Enjoy Shower Baths In Music Mountain Farm
Dr. Roy Keith, a physician and hog farmer, wired a mountain on his 267 acre farm to blast music from a 30 watt speaker in a cave. The setup acts as a natural baffle for sound over the landscape while he relaxes with Broadway tunes and Sousa marches.

The pigs appear unusually happy.
