Watch Claudine Play the Hohner

A desert lake is a perfect mirror of the bluest sky that everyone has ever seen, it wants to trade place and expect to be a part of Heaven without the pretty daisies and lilies: it will have plenty of clouds that will shine on breezy August noons... as folks let loose their colorful balloons! Watch little Claudine play the Hohner, often times she borrows her dad's guitar... while Aunt Jane puts on her straw hat and shades to resemble a movie star; that's not a beach, but she looks hot! What's missing besides a songster? A desert lake is a perfect mirror of the bluest sky in Oklahoma... where no sea is seen only big mountains, Uncle Jesse slowly sips his chilled beer; if it'll rain, he'll play the harmonica making her niece mad with furrowed brows! Watch little Claudine play the Hohner getting claps from pops and grannies, nobody notices when her song is out of tune; Jack tries to warn her, but she neglects him with a smirk: let him dance, let him sing music can change his quirk! Funny how it delights the frantic puppies that join the fun thinking it's opportune to surround and upset Jack the crooner!
