Big Fun with Marimbas at the Fall Folk Festival in Spokane!

What fun! Today Coeurimba performed at the Spokane Community college for an anual event called the Fall Folk Festival. Walter and Ramona came with us and it was so much fun! Here is a pretty good picture of the group. Tina is on the floor in front of a marimba, Char is next sitting behind the other marimba. Standing starting from the left is Julie, Bob, me, Denise, Eileen and Sally. It's cool because each performance is more fun than the last!
There is just no way a still picture can capture the speed and intensity of playing the marimba! Suffice it to say that I did't need to wear a coat! Marimba playing is a pretty good work out! Don't believe me? Watch Julie play the bass for Mhnanga - it's an aerobic experience just to watch her!


This is not only an aerobic activity, it is rhythms, patterns, music, lots of brain excercise! My friend calls this 'Brain Age live'!

Mom those pictures are great! I still want to see you play for something! I think Ava would love it and dance too! Maybe this summer! :) We love you!

When is your DVD coming out? Ashlyn and Payson probably would love it and dance to it every day. Move over little einsteins, it's grandma and her marimba gang...
