LOL!

Looks like some of our parties . . . you just make up a musical evening from whatever you happen to have . . . our weirdest combination ever was harpsichord, a violin, a flute, and . . . wait for it . . . a TUBA.

We played mostly English Renaissance music like Purcell, and stuck him on the Ground/Basso Continuo. It wasn't too bad, when we could stop laughing . . .
