Holiday Show -- saxophone/clarinet duet
Whenever we got together with the Cifarellis, the five of us cousins usually used to put on a variety show show. When it was good, it was very very good, and when it was bad -- performers and audience would have had a good laugh together.

My son started to play a new instrument. Now I can ask the neighbors has he done his homework, ha! I hope this is the last instrument at my house, really. We have a piano, bass, guitar, drums and now sax. Not to mention all the Guitar Hero toy instruments. My three sons are all very musical and I'm proud of them.
