Program Notes

Playing with wooden spoons on tables -- that sounds a bit unusual at first, but has been popular fun for many years around the world.

A wooden spoon meal is staged with a lot of fun at the same time, but everything that can produce a sound is also used to generate the sound. If you haven't had fun with rhythmic sounds until now, you certainly will from now on.
