Once there was a man named Tim. He loved to make up songs and play music. Playing and singing made him happy, but sometimes he wished he had a friend to play with. So, Tim made a robot to help him play and sing! Come and see Tim and his robot friend perform with an assortment of old musical instruments (ukuleles, banjos, and more) and a little bit of technological help. This program is for families.
