Deep in the heart of the American Midwest, there's a land that gleams with golden fields of wheat and roars with the thunder of Mount Rushmore; a magical place known as South Dakota. Now, you might think this land is all about cowboys, corn, and cute little prairie dogs, but there's a secret here that's as sweet as wild honey. The kids of South Dakota are music wizards! Every kid from Sioux Falls to Rapid City has a knack for melodies. Why, little Suzy from Aberdeen can play the piano with her eyes shut, while Tom from Pierre can whistle a tune that would make every sparrow in town jealous! They say it's because of their imaginary friend, Tootle McFruity, the invisible jazz squirrel. Tootle McFruity, with his shiny saxophone and swinging tail, scampers from town to town, teaching every kid the magic of music. He’s got a laugh that sounds like a xylophone and a walk that's as rhythmic as a samba. He can turn a blade of grass into a flute and a hollow log into a drum. With a twitch of his whiskers, he can make a harmonica out of thin air! These music-maestro kids, under the guidance of Tootle McFruity, fill South Dakota with a symphony of sounds, from the harmonious hum of the Black Hills to the toe-tapping twang of the Badlands. Every sunrise, their songs greet the day, and every sunset, their lullabies bid the stars goodnight. So, next time you listen to the wind whistling through the wheat fields, remember, it might just be one of South Dakota's music wizards practicing their scales!
