The Xylophonist



This was a film created by my niece and her husband (Michelle and Erik). I just thought I'd post it here because it's brilliant, and they're brilliant, and I enjoyed their company at Thanksgiving.

Oh, Robyn, that is so brilliant!
Hoorah for Michelle and Erik.
I watched, fascinated … until "the laugh" …
From that moment on I have had the biggest cheesy grin on my face.
