[musictlk] Hello list

Sat Feb 26 22:58:56 UTC 2011

Sheri,
    Thanks for sending these on to us! They were great fun to listen to. I 
am going to share them with our music team for a little inspiration. I 
really enjoy the great rhythms! We just added a Djemba (not sure of the 
spelling) and, of course we have a tambourine and spoons. I am inspired to 
add a washboard, now!

fraternally yours,
Marion
