Granted, I like the RT original better but I thought it was way cool that kids this age would even know who Richard Thompson is.

Agreed, I wasn’t crazy about that particular arrangement but hey, kids playing Richard Thompson is not something you see every day.

I had to look up the [O’Keefe Music Foundation](http://www.okmusicfoundation.org/) to see what they were all about. That’s a pretty cool idea!

Is it OK to post other “kids playing music” videos here? Here’s one my wife showed me the other day - the Louisville Leopard Percussionists playing [Led Zeppelin’s “Kashmir” on xylophones](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYuOZnAqQCY)!

Thanks for posting that! They work in several Zep tunes, good stuff!
