What is this thing? -- Ruby (Red) Tuesday -- A quiz
I found it at church. Mrs. Jim was doing some work there and it was sitting on the table.
Since it is new there is an invoice which details brand and everything. Only problem is that the envelope is home and I am away visiting.
Mrs. Jim is here so I asked her. She said, "Scott knows." I told her that I had written on the envelope but I needed to know NOW for the blog, Ruby Tuesday in RED.
So all I can do is to tell you later tonight if you care to come back and look.
If you know or think you know please tell me what in your comment. Thanks.

What is this thing? -- Ruby (Red) Tuesday -- The answer
Technically, it is a Cuban instrument called Shekere.
Our church bought the one in my blog (below) to play along with the percussions. Mrs. Jim said they played this Sunday but she did not know that I would need to have information for the blog.
From the City of Marinette, Wisconsin, Web site, here is their blurb:
Quite a few of you thought it might be a gourd. That is correct. I do know how you would know the name unless you were familiar with these. I learned a lot about music makers made from gourds.
Most either rattle or are beaten or both, like the Shereke has both sounds. The rattle is a loud rustling of the beads. The one I posted should sell for around $50. Ours could also be a Xequerê from Brazil. Our music minister knows the answer to this question and also where we got it. Probably NOT Cuba.
