I love my Jaymar toy piano... need to fix some tines, though

Carry on my wayward toysters!

You have to Love Seattle...

The King County Library System loves this group. And so do our patrons!

The music and the video are lovely in their appearance of simplicity. I am a concertina player and I love the use of the concertina in this genre of music (I've been playing Irish Traditional Music). It's always lovely to see and hear an instrument in a whole new light. The clothing adds depth to the experience as well. Well done from all angles. Bravo!
