The Incredible Likeness of Me
Thanks once again to Pat over at Annoyingly Boring I find myself in a position where a response is in order. You may remember, his photo of the goldfinch at his bird feeder was the impetus for me getting my own bird feeders filled. The kids and I have been enjoying watching the birds feed, as have my cats. Each day the feeders seem to be alight with increased activity and watching the blue jays, cardinals, woodpeckers, wrens, morning doves and finally goldfinches return to the yard has been good for my psyche. Something about standing at the kitchen window with a fresh cup of morning coffee and watching the birds eat seems to make me feel good. I am also happy to report that as of yet, no feathers are missing from any of the birds that have chosen to dine at Casa de Zoë's Dad.
Anyway, it seems Pat, after watching the great piano showdown has found a striking image likeness for myself. Pat feels there is an uncanny resemblance between myself and Don Music, the bungling composer from Sesame Street who in moments of frustration would bang his head on the piano. As much as I would like to disagree with him, he may be right. He e-mailed me the picture below. (THE ONE ON THE RIGHT!)

In other developments regarding our innovative piano rehearsals, it appears that Dan over at All That Comes With It has prepared a video of his own where he and his absolutely adorable daughter perform marvelously together a wonderful selection that is sure to entertain. I only wish that my Zoë's fingers were as light on the keys as little Amy's appear to be. If I didn't know better I would say they were actually floating somewhere above them as the music played on effortlessly below.
(Dan has indicated that he will post his video on his blog on Thursday. Be sure to check it out. If for some reason he fails to do so, e-mail me and I'll forward the link or post it here.)
Oh for goodness sake. Don is from Sesame Street!
I am glad you enjoyed my pointing it out and glad you chose to share it with the world.
Don Music was a misunderstood genius!

Sesame Street. Muppet. They all look the same to me!

Now if I see you on Sesame Street I'll know why. LOL!
I think our resident squirrel has enjoyed the birdfeeder more than the birds.

We use a squirrel alert system. Every time I see a squirrel on the bird feeder, I yell Squirrel Alert and Zane runs from the house screaming like a banshee to scare the squirrel away. Works pretty well.

Alrighty then, the Don Music thing is just too funny! I remember watching him on Sesame street back in the day. "Oh!!!! I'll NEVER get it right!"
The resemblance is uncanny, indeed!

just back again to bask in how friggin clever I was to point out the resemblance.
Carry on.

Spot on! I look like stinkin' Beeker but with less hair.

I like Beeker, I just don't have his vocal range.

Oh my Lord! I had to come and comment after this post appeared in my reader. THE ONE ON THE RIGHT... I can't stop laughing!
I am pretty sure you don't bang your head on a piano though. At least not as long as you have had your coffee.
Thanks for the laugh!

I felt the disclaimer was in order. The resemblance was a bit freaky!

That picture is unreal! You should write to them and see if you can make a guest appearance. You're kids would love it!

Yeah, PG's just a gem for sending it to me!

Okay but aren't they Muppets on Sesame Street too? I'm really confused...
Umm, and yeah, you and Don, too funny!

I had origionally posted that he was a Muppet. I was corrected.
