The Sound of Music







About twice each year, all the sisters in our ward get to go to Relief Society together and the men take over the responsibilities in Primary and Young Women's. Today was one of those days, and Jim was asked to be the music leader in Primary. Jim goes all out in preparation - and this was no exception. He took a duffel bag of unusual instruments to primary. I think one of the favorites was the Stonelaphone (how do you even spell that!?) It's like playing a marimba, but with pieces of stone! Jim is quite remarkable at it - he can play all the primary songs on it. James loved helping Jim 'prepare' the stone songs and the girls both loved playing songs on their auto harps. Between the stones, the harps, the piano and the rain stick....we had quite the 'musical' house this morning :) The kids loved it, and it was a great was to pass a Sunday morning.
