I'm a long time banker having worked in banks since the age of 17. I took a break when I turned 50 and went back to school. I graduated right when the economy took a turn for the worst and after a year of library work found myself unemployed. I was lucky that my previous bank employer wanted me back. So here I am again, a long time banker. Change is hard.

Well, that was only until I actually made a sound with it. Then she was all barking and baking away.

looks like she’s not sure about your clarinet…. she definitely would be if I were playing it or playing my trombone from my brief days as a musician.

She has decided she doesn’t like it. I can understand that….3rd clarinet isn’t all that interesting!

Penny is contemplating a head tilt at any second as she studies where the music is coming from.

Wasn’t there a cartoon or a commercial years ago where the dog put its paws over its ears to stifle the noise? At least Penny didn’t howl!

Yes, she wasn’t sure. Once I made a sound on it she was sure she didn’t like it!

HaHa, at least she’s not yowling!! (Now, if you’d like her to, I’ll be glad to share Monk with you — won’t take long to teach her!). Looks like Mama is practicing for a concert?!

She is not a fan. It didn’t bother Katie, but then Katie had been deaf for at least 5 years…Tonight I was practicing and she was outside, so all was good. Yes, concert is tomorrow night.
