Part 10. Entertaining the Entertainers.
In the dining hall...
The group sat down for dinner with Uncle Adam.
The elder Seville smiled as he heard of their exploits in school, sports and music.
He then said," I wouldn't expect less. Music always has been a part of the Seville family.
Dave always came to visit me for lessons and encouragement."
"You sing?", asked Theodore.
Uncle Adam looked at him and said,"Sadly... No. I play instruments. From woodwinds to water."
All ears pricked up when he said," Water."
"Can you show us how you make music with water?" asked Alvin.
Uncle Adam arose from his seat and walked to a table, which had a velvet cloth placed over it.
He smiled at the group of chipmunks, as he pulled away the cloth.
In front of them were several wine glasses filled with different levels of water.
Uncle Adam then said,"Let's see where you heard this before..."
As he stroked and palmed the lips of the glasses; they remembered the haunting, beautiful, piece in the grotto.
Aquarium by Saint Saens.
They looked in awe, as Uncle Adam made it look so effortless.
He then performed Swan Lake.
After he finished, Uncle Adam heard little paws clapping wildly.
"I love you selections of water music.", said Simon.
"It's so beautiful..", said Jeanette.
Alvin and the rest looked at Uncle Adam in awe.
The elder Seville smiled as he towel dried his hands.
" Now it's time for my show stopper!...", he said as he reached into his pocket.
Something shinned of gold in his hand as he said," From this simple instrument. I will perform a musical miracle!
Dave, my dear boy. Can you accompany me on that piano over to your left."
Dave sat at the piano. A composition by Franz Schubert was the piece his uncle was going to play.
As Dave played the piano,he saw Alvin and the others listening to his uncle play Ave Maria on a Golden Echo Harmonica.
A little later...
It was time to go home. Before the group left they were surprised with gifts from Uncle Adam.
Theodore got his own Belgian Waffle iron set and a scaled down set of symphonic drums.
Simon received a telescope, a scaled down keyboard, and the classic red Corvette that he drove.
The Chipettes were given the Volkswagen rag top and keys to a special surprise that was to be sent to them.
Alvin was already wearing the special made red cap, which had two holes for his ears.
He didn't think he was going to get another gift.
Was he ever wrong. Uncle Adam handed him a black case.
When Alvin opened it, the shine of gold met his eyes.
His very own Golden Echo Harmonica.
Uncle Adam looked at him and said,"Alvin I saw how were amazed by my performance.
I would like to see you master the harmonica; and look after your little lady.
You two will make beautiful music together."
A teary eyed Alvin jumped upon his uncle. Hugged him and said,"Thank you!"
Sorry for the delay. I been very ill lately.. Don't forget to review..
