“It’s funny, because Leah never said much about your class, but now that she’s not actually doing it, she plays “music together” continuously — she asks me to put on “Gabriele’s music,” she gets instruments for herself and for me, and she pretends to be you (and I am assigned to be Leah). Without a new CD, we’ve had the opportunity to revisit some of the old ones, and she has fallen in love with “Greensleeves” (which she calls “the sweater song”). She’ll be glad to rejoin you in the fall term.”
