Honestly, our favorite Holiday, next to Christmas. For generations, my family has fiddled Irish tunes and now it is Thomases turn. On that special day, both him and I are going to sit down and watch every single one of them, and hopefully find some Irish music we can dig into. After all, to us Irish, every day should be fun with the cheer and luck o' the Irish. 

Thomas has only been practicing Swallowtail for 3 weeks and I fee bad for him because he has such a work load with his orchestra practice every day, his private lesson pieces and me teaching him 3d position...and his homework and practicing baseball for his first year in the minor league here in Maine. So please understand that he only played this song twice a day, 5 days a week for only 3 weeks. But I find it remarkable that he progressed this far and memorized it entirely. (I can't even memorize his birthday, hahaha). And for some reason, he gets excited over his badges so a party badge is that simple little gesture that helps to keep him going, of which this Dad is certainly grateful for you all. Let's have some good ol' fashioned fun!!!!
