Hi Everybody,

I sort of work with kids every day, if it's not raining, in the summer. I play the keyboard but I'm hidden behind some fabric and umbrellas and all you can see is my gloved hands which look like two tiny cows dancing around on the keys. Kids - not all kids, mind you - but the huge majority, will get that this is a fantasy world and they are invited to play. The cows respond to requests, play dance music, and stick out a hoof (my little finger) to shake hands, and so on.

But adults will often tell their child, "look - there's a man behind there!" before anything else. (If you look around the corner of the sky, you'll see me.) And then, they feel like they've done well, by seeing through the "trick."

But they haven't done well. I didn't create the little Musical Cows world just so you could see through the trick. I want to play with you!

There was a little girl today whose mother did the "see - it's just a man" thing and the girl said Oh. Then her mother pulled her away - they had places to go. But the little girl, just like her mother was her student, patiently pulled her mother back, and got her to wait and came over close and looked over the whole farmyard scene and listened to a tune and clapped when the cows bowed and shook hands and did the right thing. Maybe Mom learned something - I hope so.
