Birthday Breakfast and Concert


Anna Lyn's birthday is actually Dec. 20, but Joy and I celebrated it a bit early with a birthday breakfast in early December.

Joy made the cutest, most delicious individual omelets, full of vegetables and meat!


On her actual birthday, Reba and I went with her to the beautiful Covington Library to hear erwilian, a Renaissance Musical group that plays a wonderful assortment of instruments!


There are 5 musicians.  One man plays a variety of percussion instruments, two men play different stringed instruments such as the guitars, mandolin, viola and the mountain dulcimer, as well as the bodhran.   The woman plays a recorder, the mountain dulcimer, and the larger hammer dulcimer.  The young man plays the other smaller hammer dulcimer, the xylophone, the celesta (the instrument that plays the Sugar Plum Fairy dance in the Nutcracker Suite), the marimba, the melodica and the recorder.  Not only ONE recorder, but TWO recorders at the same time!  He was absolutely amazing!  They all were! Someone played an auto harp as well.  Very beautiful music! 

It made for a great evening out to celebrate the birthday of a great friend :-}

 
Happy Birthday, Anna Lyn!
