#303: Ko-Ko

Give Merk the name of any jazz great, and she will instantly break into song (and by "song," I mean very creative humming of instrumental lines). It is very impressive. The night before she had to go back to school, we made cookie dough and did homework together, and Molly and I tested this theory by throwing names of jazz musicians at her. We caught her on a few, but when stuck, she would simply name different musicians for herself, and sing entire songs. Charlie Parker was one she got through quite a bit of before we all lost interest in the game.
