We celebrated the equinox with a party featuring way too much food, just enough drink, so many friends, and a musical theme.
After creating our own handmade musical instruments from odds and ends, Huw conducted us in an improvised concert. Paul made an amazing tuned instrument from rubber bands and a tea tin. Shinji’s beer can bell was a rattly delight. We lost a salad server to the drum. Tod filled the emptied wine bottles with water for a harp. There were attempts at guitars and an abundance of percussive blocks, shakers and Yuka’s most versatile “ball bearings in a can topped with copper sheeting.”
I think we must all be ageing. The party broke up by ten…might be a first.
