Last night I think the people behind my house were having a party in their yard.
And they didn’t invite me.
It didn’t sound like a big party – just a few people.
But they were playing musical instruments and I really thought I should be part of that.
I heard the sound of a guitar every once in awhile.
That didn’t really bother me.
My person has a guitar.
.
It’s kind of collecting dust right now but I guess if I really wanted to play it I could tear open the case and see what kind of sounds I could make.
But there was another instrument that really attracted my attention.
It’s not one that my person has – well, she sort of has it, but not really.
And it’s something I’ve always wanted to play.
I mean, who wouldn’t want to play an instrument that was named after them.
Maybe my neighbors will hear something and invite me over next time they play the bongos.

Now, if I had a party, I would love to have Bongo play the bongos and would give him lots of fish too for it!!!

Lily, I might have to invite myself. Maybe I could enlarge the hole in the fence between our yards.

Dalton, it wouldn’t be a party if they didn’t have Bongo playing the bongos.

What a lovely instrument it is, Bongo! The instrument is mostly for latin music, isn’t it? How cheerful! 🙂 *humming to myself*

Kevin, you made my person curious so she looked up some information on bongo drums and found out they originated in Cuba – so yes, they are mostly for latin music. I think I’ll go work on my latin drumming now.

Since you have four paws, you could make up a whole orchestra with a guitar and a bongo!!
Bongo
November 20, 2013 at 11:57 am
Kolytyi, what an idea! I can do more music than people can. Woo woo!

I just assumed you got your name because you were a world renown bongo beater.
Bongo

Lola, I think those drums were named after me. I mean, who wouldn’t want to name their drums after me.

Ginger, anyone who can get a cookie named after her is definitely in line for a thousand foot statue.
