Wash ,'Serenity'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
Sumi: glockenspiel. Oh yeah.
Not differently, WROUNG!
What can I say? I'm ignourant.
Also, re: Dr. Wu, I'd probably point out that Walter Becker, who attended the University of Alabama briefly, allegedly failed a class taught by noted logic professor Dr. Katy Wu.

Was she crazy? Was she high?
Of course if Becker's proofs were anything like his lyrics it's small wonder that he failed.
Yes, yes, and I agree.
It was 30 years ago... last Sunday. The Birth of (UK) Punk: [link]
Sumi: African Thumb Piano. It's really hard to make one of those sound bad, and (speaking as the mother of a five-year-old boy who has a harmonica, recorder, tambourine, maracas, and a high-end child-size drum kit and who has been known to try to play them ALL AT ONCE) that's a sanity saver.
Unless you hate the child's parents, in which case: toy accordion. They never sound good and they break almost immediately (but not in a way that renders them silent).
ROCKRGRL is this weekend in Seattle. Johnette Napolitano is the keynote speaker. Patti Smith is going to be honored (it being the 30th anniversary of Horses and all).

erinaceous - her grandparents gave her an accordian last Christmas. It's not a toy -- and was a little bit too much for her to deal with at the time.
Ooh, the kalimba looks like fun. Also, there was a translucent pink Yamaha recorder (on Amazon). She loves pink.

That running bit made me snerk as much as finding out that Ann's name is really Annabelle.
I second the kalimba idea. Easy to play, hard to knock out of tune, and much less annoying than some of cumbersome alternatives. And kalimbas are happy instruments. Even West African songs of suffering sound happy on a kalimba.
