Well, since I am taking soooo long to get my musical post done

I am going to just post the fun part now so you can enjoy the craziness of our babes.

Sophie & Dane gittin' down to the funky sounds of Andre Williams doing "Don't Touch" on the album, Lookey-Dookey. We are playing on my turntable in the garage & they've taken it upon themselves to request we go down there & that music be played.

Dane always has to bop to his own little beat when he hears music, or even sometimes when he just hears his own "special" music in his head. You can tell his enthusiasm for the music in his dance.

Sophie loves it to & she gets into it, but takes a little more coaxing than her big/littler brother. Hence my goading her on a bit.

A 10-minute Brazillian Space Odyssey

Some may remember. Others may wonder why. But I say, why not?! This piece is by Eumir Deodato & it's a sweet rendition of the 2001 theme song.

The original Richard Strauss is already such a powerul song, but this just goves it that edge, that flavor, added by the drums, bongos, & electric guitar.

What can I say, I dig it!

Back to the music topic

So, this morning The Ramones came on the cable station on the TV & I heard Miles from the other room trying to get the lyrics of the "I Wanna Be Sedated" song they were singing. He was singing along to the "bam bam, bam-bams" & pogoing around next to Dane. Super cute!

Can a dad be more proud? :)

Well, I don't know if it will progress to this, but you have to give this kids some serious props for taking the time to do this song in so many locations , with so much "flair," & to leave in humorous bits too!

Maybe one of the brood will try something like this one day...


Maybe ours will be to a retro Falco song... come on people. You remember, don't you?! Rock me, Amadeus!

:D

Because you can't help them learn to love music too early

This comes from a friend/coworker, Michele, who gave one of these sweet guitars as a gift to her sister's kid. I am passing this along to all of you should you be looking for all things musical.


We tend to be a family that exposes our kids to quite a range of music (though not so many instruments - we're not the Partridge Family yet) & so they know all the standard kids music plus Alt Rock, House, Disco, County, Rap, Punk, Rock, etc. All the goodies. They even know what my records (yes, I mean records...vinyl, LPs, wax) & turntable are & what they do. Love my kids! :)

Angela was good enough to get some appropriate attire just the other day to reflect these choice bits of knowledge...

Who could ask for a better girl by your side?! :) Love my wife!

And then, these are the kinds of shirts we love them to wear & express. Man! I have got to start my own t-shirt company so I an get my kids in these pics! :P


Rock on! Babies
