X/Alphabe-Thursday

 Xylophones

It's looking a tad Christmas-y here, isn't it? That's because X is one of those special letters I  save up for.

I suspect simultaneously playing the xylophone and walking is harder than it first appears. I'm sure I couldn't do it. How about you?

Xylophone bench, Rochester Institute of Technology

Isn't this bench shaped like a xylophone absolutely wonderful?

I am linking to Jenny Matlock at Alphabe-Thursday HERE

  2. Yep, X is the hardest and you got two. You were brave to use them both. Or maybe you saved a couple more for the next round!

  7. When I was a kid and went to church we'd often have zylophone players come and "entertain." Never did impress me much but at least nobody was talking!

    We had a president who couldn't walk and chew gum at the same time...he's the guy named for that famous automobile. I have a feeling that walking and playing one of these things would take extraordinary multi-tasking skills!

  23. Love your post♫♪ Thanx for featuring the Xylophone for the letter X. It is a funtastic instrument.

  24. Well, since I can't walk and take on the cellphone at the same time, I am thinking that walking and playing a musical instrument would be something along the lines of impossible.
    And, yes, that bench is really something. What a fun post.

  25. So very cool! I just adore their little red caps and bright pants as well! A neighborhood park installed one like this for all the children to play! Great X post, thanks!
