A message from the forest

So, Kevin did remember to send mail


A few notes:

1) Wikipedia says there are 8 to 12 violas in an orchestra. We think this is the first time Kevin's been in an orchestra where they had chairs, so, will be interesting to get the scoop on that.
2) Kevin missed a few sentences. Like "I'm having fun." or "Thanks for the care packages. The home-made chocolate cookies Mom sent were especially nice."
3) Have to say I'm surprised by the underlining....was certain walking away from the cabin that Kevin wouldn't be enamored of the kid underneath him in the bunkbeds, but, that boy is underlined......
4) Turns out Dad actually has some of the music Kevin mentioned. Nabucco is an opera by Verdi, and I have this overture on CD, and "Dance of the Tumblers" is from Rimsky-Korsakov's Snow Maiden, and I have the suite to that....
5) Kevin might have to work on writing more than 6 lines of text next go round......
