West Side Story Percussion

In fairly quick succession, the boys and I discovered a longer version of a West Side Story soundtrack that included the long instrumentals with the great percussion parts. Liam and Crispin began playing bongos and cowbells along with the recording, and creating their own versions. I discovered a touring production was coming to town this week and we could get tickets still. The tickets were up front to the side, which allowed us to watch the orchestra warming up, which you see here. Tonight at Kelly's house the boys did a play which consisted of no dialogue, but moving plenty of furniture around--I assume like the rolling sets of balconies, bridal shops, and drugstores of the upper West Side. Perhaps it is time to search ebay for used scaffolding for Liam's birthday (that's a joke--sort of). - Posted using BlogPress from my iPad
