Do you have any memorable stories that you can tell us about kids' experiences with your ocarinas.

Oh, man, I've got a lot of anecdotes, but, uh, one friend of mine, William --I guess he was eleven at the time-- heard me play at our town library sometime in the late Summer or early Fall. Well, he called me up the next day and had to have an ocarina. So I gave him one and I also started giving him lessons off and on. He had never played an instrument previously, but that Christmas, he played his ocarina in several different churches with his youth choir. I really think that the ocarina has had a positive impact on his life because it gave a young man one more thing that he could do well, that he could feel good about, that he could use to serve others.
