Haha, that was fantastic! And very geeky... Do you play the recorder yourself? I have an alto with baroque fingering that I take out once in a while, but it's far from my primary instrument.

I uh....uh....I FOLD...

I like that one. Here's Metheny's solo from the album played on recorder! recorder rocks ya know

I see your Pat Metheny/Anna Maria Jopek, and I raise with Pat Metheny Group!

And hey, you've got 100 stars! Congratulations! That was quick...

Thanks! I fell in love with this song the moment I heard it.

Marzipan recipe for you:

1 pound of almonds
1 pound of powdered sugar
1/2 - 1 egg white
1 tea spoon of lemon juice

Scald the almonds in boiling water and remove the skin. Grind the almonds into a fine powder. Then grind them a second time together with the powdered sugar. Mix in egg white and lemon juice until it is a solid mass. Now you can shape it into funny shapes, or cover pieces of it with dark chocolate. The former is a great activity for the kids!

Thanks for that!

Great! I like this version better than the one with Bobby McFerrin. It feels more pure, somehow.

Hmmm, you seem to have posted the same video twice... That must surely be a mistake. But it's a great video!
