Combos

Our neighbors stopped by on Friday with their little girl Pen†. Perhaps an hour, a comfortable chat. Eleanor kept coming in, then skittering off, over and over. Fascinated but easily startled. Eventually, gave Pen a long hand sniff, which both seemed to enjoy. Hard to explain to a one year old that she'd been given a great honor, and to expect no more.

All nice people, we are glad to have them near. Good senses of humor. Dave* noticed Dylan's guitars, and offered to jam with him... with his clarinet, which was a joke.

Guitar and clarinet are perhaps not an ideal duo, but it's easy to imagine worse. Harp and tuba came to mind. Bagpipes and trombone would be terribly interesting, emphasis on terrible. Xylophone and Theremin. Bugle and dulcimer.










I'd love to hear any of them prove me wrong. But then, I want to hear Scotland the Brave on accordion. And Lady of Spain on bagpipes.




I have a soft spot for bagpipes.






†Not her name, but with similarities.
*Not his name, but just as common.
