How are you feeling this morning? Do you want to hear something that is guaranteed to put a smile on your face?

See if you can guess the song.

Is there a smile on your face?

Good, now it is up to you to keep it there.

    That was a great morning starter, especially towards the end when the pace kicked up. We are unable to do that here bc we use big plastic stadium cups brought home from games year round, unless we have company over.

    Note to G: Yout Title line appears to be missing a word. Should it say *this* mornIng?

    Have a great day there yourself, Jesse.

    Awesome. I'm driving down to Los Angeles today to see my daughter and one of my grandkids for the first time. I'll be smiling all week. Happy Prez' Day all.

  7. That is a glass harmonica or glass harp.

    Mozart composed for it.

    Benjamin Franklin invented one.

    I've seen some beautiful examples in museums and heard a few played live by musicians that have built their own.

    There are a few CDs out of ones in museums being played by experts.

    The sound is ethereal. There is nothing like it. And it does not grind on the ears like the normal rubbing wet fingers on a glass.

    Guess the song? Are you kidding? We loved Leonard before Leonard was cool. Thanks, and yes I am smiling.

  10. Love it!

    Especially because once upon a time at a tony restaurant in Coronado, our family was asked to leave because I was teaching the rubbing a wet finger trick to my nephews.

    Good times.

    What a talent! Wonder how long it took him to get the levels just right for each glass?

    When you have a chance, check out on youtube the glass harp music played by Robert Tiso.

    If you liked this man, try these.
