Dad gave me a card with an Ogden Nash poem on it when he gave me the bear (that you later confiscated!). Thus, his name. We used to have a book of his poetry. I wonder if we still have it...<br /><br />Sarah, just in case I get a vote, I would vote in favor of that visit and the Aunt Sarah Dramatic Reading you proposed!Momnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12347325.post-42315400565267365782011-07-20T13:34:29.788-07:002011-07-20T13:34:29.788-07:00PS Consider my research of various old 'Carniv...PS Consider my research of various old 'Carnival' recordings proof that I love my nephews, and please tell them so. :)<br /><br />Mom says you're visiting N.

Dad just enjoyed his poetry, much of which is quite funny (and therefore right up Dad's alley), as I recall. Maybe Mom will chime in and let me know if I'm remembering correctly!<br /><br />The Carnival of the Animals poetry is so funny. Some of it might be a bit advanced for kids but I think they would get a lot of it!sarah mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18016489034529811005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12347325.post-17507834973050939892011-07-18T08:21:04.621-07:002011-07-18T08:21:04.621-07:00The 5 Browns came to Fresno last year, and I got t...The 5 Browns came to Fresno last year, and I got to see them in concert. :) Very, very amazing.<br /><br />-StaciaWandererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01632780642589976269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12347325.post-84825830780116259562011-07-17T22:01:39.547-07:002011-07-17T22:01:39.547-07:00Thanks, Sarah!

I'm glad the boys like it. The sound is created by doing a glissando (a slide with the finger on the string, in this case from a low note to a high one) up to a high harmonic, which produces the kind of whistle-y high note. I bet you could find a youtube video of the movement being played, and then the boys could watch violinists sarah mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18016489034529811005noreply@blogger.com
