My flatmates baby is just 1 years old and loves to copy everything we do and she especially loves music. Not surprising really as her dad is a keyboardist and a trumpet player.
She has recently started to take over the keyboards when we are working so here is a video of her playing the moog while we were working out some synthesizer parts on a new record the other day.
Hope she makes you smile as much as she makes us smile.
