Hi Adele,
Well I'm kinda a retired person now so I haven't much in the way of school art to share. And my focus has shifted away from puppets and back to music.
However........ I think I'm becoming a poster child for retired persons who take MOOCs. Back in 2012 an enabler on Facebook posted "free university courses available on coursera". So I like a fool checked it out and took a nice itty bitty course on World Music. It proved to be a gateway drug. In 2012 I took just 1 course. In 2013 just 2. In 2014 it jumped to 8. Frankly 2015 is beginning to scare me.
All but one of these courses involve music and I've even taken 'How to Write Like Mozart' twice. So I'm posting a piece I've written that I hope will cheer you up. I want you to know no delicate human fingers have been damaged in the playing of this piece although my computer may have cowered a little when one of my files from program 'A' did not play nice with program 'B'. I know Adele, computer files that screw up. I assure you that I am as shocked as you must be.

P.S. All the puppets send their love too! (They also say why don't I get a decent video camera and an editing program so they can say 'take care' in person but you know puppets - snark, snark, snark!)
