Yesterday, my friends and I spent the day volunteering for Salvation Army ringing those bells. But, the bells were obnoxious, and horrible, so we got some instruments and enjoyed some lovely christmas music. Even though it was cold, and we sounded bad, we just spent the whole day making music (with every instrument we own) with each other. When we got too cold to play, one of us would dance around to the other two's music. And when our fingers stopped moving, we just sang a lot. So , I found out I can't play trumpet very well, and a guitar strap would be a good investment, and harmonica doesn't sound very good with flute, and I enjoyed serenading saturday shoppers with some songs.
