Saint Cecilia Plays the Cans

Saint Cecilia is the patron saint of musicians. On January 30, 2010, with Saint Cecilia in mind, we happened to notice that that snow was slowly melting off of our metal roof and dripping down onto the rocks. Having noticed during rainstorms that our scrap pile emits a fascinating cacophony, we quickly grabbed a variety of aluminum cans and set them up on the rocks to catch the drips. We were delighted by the resulting music.
