See. That's the advantage of doing what we do. We don't take the tree
down. It stays up all year. Oh, every now and again, we put a new
decoration on it. Maybe for mother's day or groundhog day or something.
But it stays up for years. This one is heading for its fifth birthday.

In the music room. Sounds hoity-toity, but it just means it's the room
with the guitars, banjos, music books and other instruments live. Had to
