Marimbas, Nephew and fun...

First I have been playing in marimba quartet made up of some friends from college, Dan Chamberland, Jill Hancey and Margo Watts (owner of the marimba which i have claimed when she dies... LOL)

So we started with just some violin quartets etc.. and suddenly I started thinking I could do better arrangements and so I installed sibelius again and started up doing the arrangements

so far i have arranged
from a quintet Farandole by Bizet, Air by Bach, Canon in D by Pachobel and Whiter Shade of Pale by Lanz/Harum and now Williams.
Here is a video of one of our rehearsals of the Whiter Shade of Pale:


Also during the Holidays I had much fun with my new nephew and his dad :)


Here is the Santa Logan with his milk and cookies... looks like the milk is all gone..
he was a good little baby while we took lots of cute and wonderful pictures..






Then came New Years:
I called Charles up and said hey how do you feel about wearing a diaper and growing a white beard.. he said he would do it and we had the makings of the Old Man New Year 2011 with the Baby New Year 2012

Chuck was a great sport and I think he will have some fun explaining how Angel got him do wear a diaper in a picture.

My Dad broke his hip a few days before Christmas so I drove down to St. George for Christmas.. it was a good time, both Mom and Dad were keeping busy while I kept track of the dogs.
I don't know who was more tired at night Dad or Mom since mom was going up and down the stairs everytime dad had to move.
I did get to learn how to empty the blackwater tank for the trailer which is one more thing I can add to my resume!

Last photo is of my Christmas Puddi Card!

Enjoy!
