Last Friday, our Say Yes site took summer campers to the downtown art festival to share an afternoon of being outdoors, artistry, people watching and culture. The rain shower that met us upon arrival gave way to a decent afternoon. It was amusing to see the faces of artists when our group arrived with 100 6, 7, 8 and 9 year olds. One of the highlights of the day was when a group of kids were listening to a mariachi band of four guitars. As they did this, a posse of three bag pipers came from behind. The fusion of the four amigos and the windpipes made for an awkward sound and I said to my counselors, "I'm suddenly picturing chihuahuas in plaid skirts and craving a margarita with scotch.
It seems rather obvious that someone needs to create quirky bagpipe salsa music. I can't believe no one has thought of that before the Syracuse art festival. The only thing that would have made the moment better would be an accordion.
