Festive Fun...

I have added the Youtube video of 'Are You Being Served?', which is from the 1981 xmas special entitled 'Roots?'. The staff are celebrating Old Mr Grace's 90th birthday, and viewers can see no less than 4 musical numbers, the highlight of which is the Scottish dancing. Sheer brilliance !!.
This episode saw the last appearances of Young and Old Mr Grace, and legend has it that Wendy Richard (Miss Brahms) declined to 'blacken up' for one number. Watch and you'll see why.....

Inspirational Video

I chose this video clip from Youtube as it is something I've often wondered if I could achieve, if I ever had enough spare time. This is a short enough clip, and manages to give the viewer enough insight into how to play a complex instrument like this. It also gives the viewer a useful insight into the history of the Xylophone, such as it's origins, the different types available, and how to begin to discover the instrument at a basic enough level. The clip  also gives further links to other related websites, which again I think it very useful.
I hope it inspires someone enough.
