Rules are made to be broken

I have a certain idea about museums.  I have about a two hour maximum, after which I need to leave—had enough—overload—that sort of thing.  Call me shallow, it's just the way it usually is.
Broke the rule twice in one day.  This morning, a “three hour tour” called “Behind the Scenes” at Taliesin West.  I will write about that later.
After that, we went to the new Musical Instrument Museum.  I bet some of you wondered what we did with all of the instruments we did not take from 901….actually, none of our instruments are in this museum….but we did identify some of the origins of some of ours that were a mystery.
Lots to say about the museum.  We looked around for 4 1/2 hours.  The only reason we left is that our feet started to hurt, and it was FREEZING in there!
The last section was a huge space were you could try lots of instruments.  Here is Kenny, a regular busman’s holiday!

theremin--the instrument that makes those creepy scary movie sounds, invented in the 1920s
