Rahnyaan Roland Kirk

Anya can play recorder! Or at least, she can blow into it and make a noise.

A couple of weeks ago we found a little toy recorder in the park. We brought it home, disinfected it, and put it in with her toys, and a few days ago Kate thought it would be fun to form a two-piece band, with Anya on the toy recorder and her on a proper one she'd had since school.

Of course Anya was having none of it. Why can't she play both recorders? So now she crawls around trying to play both simultaneously like some toddler version of jazz saxophonist Rahsaan Roland Kirk.

She can only play one note on the good recorder, and a sort of high-pitched hoot on the crap one. But she plays that one note damn well.
