Now that Dipsy & Lala have passed their 1st birthday (on 11th April) and have discovered Tuna Imperial (now there’s a ballet Ashton should have choreographed) it seems that they have now reached the top end of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, and can now begin to enjoy music. Either it’s her age or the tuna & squid mixture that enabled Dipsy to move on and discover that the piano was not merely a means of gaining access to the box which she sleeps in for most of the day, but can also be used to introduce her to the songs of Marc Blitzstein, which she can be seen studying in this photograph.
