I made it back from the architecture conference in Boston to play guitar at the kindergarten Christmas concert. It was really important because I took a book the kids really like, "Itsy Bitsy House" and made sheet music to it. The tune is really simple, but what was really amazing was the effort the teachers at school put into it. There are four animals in the story, and each one was played by a child in a great costume (a mouse, a dog, a cat and a billygoat). There was a house, there was "lightning" and many other props. Rowan played the Old Man who invites the cold animals into the house. I guess it's kind of a Christmas story in a way, too. Rowan was so cute in his beard and lederhosen! Kris took many pictures but tragically, because of a bug in the USB card reader software, they were all deleted!! Maybe we'll get some from some other parents later.
I used LilyPond to write the music up, and you can see my work here.
