On a more positive note I found this video this morning. The sound these people get out of glasses of water is pretty amazing. Here is the video and the explanation of their performance:

Little did the musicians know, but when their fingertips generated sound by touching those glass rims for the first time, it was what would turn out to be the beginning of a long and earnest adventure. These two musicians, players of the traditional instruments the violin and the trumpet, could not have suspected the path that lay before them. They began to master the glass harp, amazed by its technical and expressional possibilities. The biggest glass harp in the world, its range covers nearly 5 octaves. The phenomenal sound of the glass cups caught these musicians' imagination so much that they quit the Baltic Philharmonic Orchestra in Gdansk. Their passion and unremitting work resulted in the growing popularity of their concert performances. Today they have an extraordinarily wide repertoire and their very own loyal fan base. They perform both solo concerts and concerts with additional musicians. They've performed with string quartets, various chamber ensembles, even symphony orchestras, including The Warsaw National Philharmonic Orchestra and Sinfonia Varsovia. They have had several world premieres of musical works composed especially for them. They have also made numerous recordings for radio, tv and theatre productions.
I hope you boys enjoyed this video. Your Dad can probably show you how the sound is made by putting some water in a wine glass and rubbing the lip of the glass.
I love you and pray that the Lord will heap blessings on you and your family,
Granddaddy
PS. I remembered this dog video and knew y'all would love it!
