When Lorraine moved the floor harp to the front for the rain-drop song everyone was so still you could almost hear the raindrops falling. When Tom played the Halloween song (not scary) his guitar produced a growl you didn’t know a guitar could make, and then he did it again, so you knew it was no accident.
The Wedding Song that Nicole and Evan sang as a question and answer duet was a great favorite: “What cha goin’ to wear to the wedding? How you goin’ to git to the wedding? Who you goin’ to bring to the wedding?”
Evan sang, “I’m goin’ to bring my children to the wedding,” and Nicole asked, “I didn’t know you had any children. How many do you have?”
“I’m gonna bring my six children to the wedding. Seven if the weather be good!” Then Nicole sang “There ain’t gonna be any wedding!” and everyone burst out laughing.
Sam Mullany, three years old, got so into the spirit of things that he rushed up and gave an impromptu solo dance, which added to everyone’s delight.
Their final song was what they called their Buddhist song because the refrain, “What you do will return to you”.
It was called “Don’t kill snakes” when you see them in the road, and went on to include turtles, who tend to be slow, and need a friend, and frogs and even bats.
The audience just spontaneously joined in the refrain, “For what you do will return to you,” and every toe in the room seemed to be tapping.
To close the program Lorraine held up the big bag of marshmallows again and opened it, saying “I’m going to put these marshmallows by the library door, so everyone can take one as they go out.” It was unforgettable!
