Kickass, the doorstop dog, reports the keeper and Phyllis were hosted by neighbors Marsha and Jack to sit in on a zoom session with their friends, one of whom did a six-song performance of playing the spoons. It was a remarkable show, made all the more so by learning that the spoon performer Bob was 97 years old and had taken up spoons only in recent years.
Phyllis remembered her mother played bones in family music making, while the keeper has only a recollection of his mother trying in vain to instill in the keeper’s earliest music fumbling that rhythm was an important ingredient. He is still working on it with Phyllis’s help and appreciates the efforts of all concerned in the Marsha/Jack/Bob zoom. Bob invites listeners to join him at “Spoons ‘N Tunes.” As he says, “IT’S FREE!”
