Gosh, where to begin… How bout’ in “the kitchen’ - with some really good music in the background, a great dinner on tap, along of course, with several bottles terrific wine to enhance the entirety of the creative endeavor… Ha-ha… Would love nothing more than to one day entertain both you and your husband to a fantastic meal, great wine, along of course with fully embellishing the percussive “cups” alongside some “kitchen sink” bongos to round out the evening! I’m in the Southeast – you’re in the Pacific Northwest from what I gather… Perhaps one day, our paths will cross and we’ll make some beautiful music together! Much love… :-)
