We're gonna have a good year, no matter what.  And since we've got people dancing in their chairs, I've started practicing again.  Pulled out the books, am gonna learn a few new songs, and we'll party.   I just hope the neighbours don't mind.  If they do, we'll hand out a few percussion instruments and they can join along.

Who says we can't have fun?

I found that very entertaining to watch. But now the name of the instrument is baffling my mind right now. I can't remember the name of it and I have watched how they are built. :stressed;

Which one?  The accordion or the drum?  Just teasing, I assume you mean the accordion.
