I put down my bag, whipped up some guacamole, grabbed a bottle of wine and joined them. All-singing, all-dancing. Everything became an instrument. It went on for hours.

What a motto. Of course, as I am more parts child than musician, I have a slightly different interpretation of the third stricture.
