Big kids gettin their groove on while exploring my interactive sonic playground in Seattle's Georgetown hood during 2025 HONK! Fest West 5/30

This young performance artist used the bell of a bulb horn as a microphone. I was so amused by his unique approach to self-directed fun that I had to capture a few moments of it to share.

HONK! Fest West day three. Mom squeezes bulb horn and asks her child, “What animal does that sound like.” Her child answers, “Butt.” LOL!

Another Road-Side Gadget Attraction aka Gadgets For Kids. My ginormous washboard debut in Seattle.

I’ll be making some decorative upgrades to my personal washboard. I’ll replace the 9V LEDs surrounding the brass mask with 5V color changing options. And I’ll redesign my harmonica adapter with smaller decorative bells.

The curiosity of children knows no bounds. Hence, why I initially added the antique silver-plated decorative vented bowl cover to the bell of this design. It helped to limit little ones from exploring the inside of the bell.
