This Friday, I taught myself how to play the waterglasses. This is when you take a set of drinking glasses, and fill them all up with different amounts of water, and run your finger around the rim to play a note. I tuned a set of eight cups to E Major. I would've preferred C, but the lowest note on the cup (when empty) was low E, and the highest (when full) was high E, so I didn't have much choice. I should've used taller cups. I can play quite a bit, but for faster songs it's easier to just hit them with a pair of chopsticks, like a xylophone. I also need something to hold the glasses down so they don't slide around on the table. Suggestions?

Excellent. Went to the field in front of the Washington Monument last night to listen to the US Army Band play. The 1812 Overture with live cannon fire! (and that live cannon fire smell.) That's some uplifting music for you. I never knew that classical music had this capacity to put crowds on their feet.
