Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

So, last night I downloaded my SQUILT book... The Baroque Period, and in the first lesson, Mary Prather talks about music flattery, and how musicians tend to copy great works of music.

She gives links to three examples of groups who have imitated Pachelbel's Canon... and one link is for the Piano Guys.

WELL. I had never heard of the Piano Guys, but this is an awesome site.
You can read their whole story on line, but if you need a fun way to start your day, watch their Star Wars spoof.

It is too funny... the piano guys duke it out on their futuristic cellos using light sabers as bows.

If you have a kid who isn't sold on classical music, this might be the game changer. .   

There are quite a few videos on their site... so you can sit here in your pajamas like me and watch as many as possible before your kids wake up . And then show them to your kids so you can watch them again

The Piano Guys Tour- if they come anywhere near my city, I am going to see them!
