Music Game

I remember that as a young child someone played "horse" with me. They bumped me on their knee as they hummed the theme from the William Tell overture, better known today as the "Lone Ranger" theme. At the high note, I would "fly" off the horse into the air.

Kola loves this game, and we have played it since the first week I met him. We gave it a new twist recently, however. While swmimming, and as we waited for waves to approach, he and I both changed the tempo of the song so that the high note would land as the wave broke. Sometimes, the song broadened to a crawl, but it was more fun to speed it up as fast as possible.

It's a good thing I was singing and not attempting ricochet bowing on my violin!
