Music

We have a cool neighbor, Bert, who is a musician. Now that the weather is finally warming up in northern California, our condo association neighbors are spending more time in our common backyard area. When we are out there, Jack likes to knock on Bert's sliding glass door and ask to play his piano. Bert is a jazz drummer by trade but plays guitar and piano too. While Jack plays the piano, Bert plays the guitar. What is remarkable is how Jack and Bert play off each other. At his age, all Jack knows is rhythm; while banging on the piano keys, Bert will strum chords on the guitar at the same rate. When I watched them, Jack slowed down and so did Bert. Then Bert sped up and Jack followed suit. Jack's first jam session!
