It'd be great if you and your frog could come and join us some time!<br /><br />CW, that is tempting. Where? When? How much?<br /><br />Jamie, the baby head shakers are gone! They creeped Rob out. But I can make more. I liked them! Those were about the best percussive instruments we've ever had here. You are absolutely going to have to come over and make some noise with us. It'll be good for your heart. <br /><br />Mary, I like Barbara Kingsolver—I'll try to find that essay. I like the sound of it.

They played for some sort of authors convention and had a blast. She wrote about getting over the hurdle of thinking she needed to be "expert" and the value of doing things for the joy of it. I think you have just grabbed hold of that idea with both hands. I loved this. Makes me miss my music too . . .Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13099257058064421124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8236210.post-47831432555987841822010-05-13T08:05:31.082-06:002010-05-13T08:05:31.082-06:00I want to play the babyhead shakers if I'm gon...I want to play the babyhead shakers if I'm gonna play in the Be Heres.
