    Somehow I'm not in the least bit worried about what you'll come up with this week, Jodi. Oh! And you can do anything around instruments. That's why I included the soundboard option.

      Hahahah! In my family we played soft ball and hockey, no instruments. But I played a lot of records and I just got my concept...while I was getting ready for a Kentucky Derby/Cinco de Mayo party. It involves a Hammond organ and a guiro. Plane travel to tomorrow so you know what will be happening in seat 6D.

        Well that didn't take long... Did you go through your entire 20-step process ( http://bit.ly/20StepProcess )? Or do they all roll up into a single step, now?

        I hope I'm lucky enough to fly with you one time. It would be fun to look over your shoulder as you craft your digital magic.

    Jodi, I used to sell kalimbas to tourists at River Street Marketplace in Savannah, GA. I tuned them to the pentatonic scale because each note in that scale harmonizes with the others, so it's impossible to play a "sour" note. I would give them simple tips on how to start playing the instrument as a way of relaxing or meditating. I'm sure most of those folks were not musicians, but once they heard how beautiful it could sound, they all wanted one.

      You're inspiring me to learn an instrument! My siblings and I all tried instruments when we were young, but our dog, a scottish terrier with monster ears, howled whenever we practiced.
