In the sky...

With Paige running off to join the circus, I thought this was an appropriate post to honor her flying "in the sky".

The other day at work, Paige called to let me know that Bryce successfully kazooed a song and she could actually tell what song it was. The song was Twinkle Twinkle (Little Star), followed by an encore of Old MacDonald. Pretty good for a kazoo, I'd say, considering you could probably have Wynton Marsalis play Happy Birthday or something off the Beatles' White Album and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

So...it was time to get the band together. I've been going out the garage at night working on my Flutaphone technique and I would put myself at about a 2nd grade level at this point (I'm confident I can get to a 4th grade proficiency by the time we go on the road).




Ready for our big break, and with no rehearsal time, Bryce and I let loose on our first jam session of Twinkle Twinkle. The problem with going without rehearsls is that I didn't know Bryce like to improvise so much. Clearly inspired by his mother's trapeeze efforts of flying "in the sky"...Bryce took the time to honor his carny mother by inserting & repeating this line of the song (I know you're humming this in your head...it's the part that goes "like a diamond IN THE SKY").



We managed to get through the song, but I think I needed the diaper change when we were done because I'm pretty sure I wet my pants.
