monday night music

at our monday night dinners we're often treated to some lovely live music from lily (with kevin and maryka as back-up). noah has been really into lily, the music and her banjo (in that order), which was a bit of a shocker to us non-musical parents. but it's exciting to think that he might be into something that neither of us knows anything about. anyway, lily told aaron about the possibility of making a banjo for noah out of an old cookie tin, and of course aaron got psyched about that project right away. he did some research and came up with this beautiful little banjo. (the cool tin is from barbara.) noah likes it but probably won't be auditioning for old crow medicine show anytime soon. we're working on figuring out how to play "itsy bitsy spider," his current favorite song.

and here's a video from last week of lily (on banjo) and her friend patrick (on fiddle) playing "pig in a pen." noah is dancing and shaking his maraca.
