Thankful Music

This guy, right here– my cute boy Dane, is taking classes in using technical resourses to make music–and is he ever having fun doing it! He started in October so he set up a full line of Halloween tunes. Some are silly kid songs and some are surprisingly spooky!

His YouTube page is called Light Shine University.

Then he moved on to a whole new, quite forgotten genre and made a long list of Thanksgiving music. I’ve been listening to it for weeks and I have to say, it’s lovely to have tons of gratitude-type lyrics in my head–especially this time of year.

I Love You More

He has written one from a true story of a sweet conversation with his little daughter that melts my heart.

And this one…is about my dad and it makes me sob. It’s beautiful.

I’m so proud of him. Please check out his whole page for tons of beautiful, fun stuff.

Press Start

Our sweet Jessica is a lovely member of the AF Symphony and we LOVE going to her concerts!

So it goes without saying that when they had one totally dedicated to video game music–

we said, “Ohhhh HECK yeah!”

Apparently, a boatload of people felt the same.

Before it started the place was

packed!!

They even had sweet little programs that looked like controllers…

a slightly eerie choir…

and a video music trivia game where people won all kinds of retro prizes–

like Lemonheads, and Laffy Taffy and Chick-o-Sticks!

If I’d have only known…I’d have studied ahead.

Every bit of this fun music made a couple of people…

incredibly happy.

Good job Jessica! You’re amazing and we love you.

The Bacon Brothers

My son Dane has had a booth for his work at the fairs and festivals in the area since early summer. I love going with him to just sit in the booth and talk.

This week, he had a booth with some real perks. THIS was a Fall Fair staring the Bacon Brothers!

I had no idea that Kevin Bacon–from Footloose and his brother Michael, tour around the country playing their own music–just for the fun of it. The concert was totally free and open to the public.

I’ve loved Kevin Bacon in Footloose–even named my son Rhen.

I’ve hated Kevin Bacon after watching him be SUCH a scary bad guy in River Wild. Seriously, it scarred me for a long time.

But I’ve come back to the loving Kevin Bacon phase again,  seeing how much fun he’s having playing his own music with his brother for no other reason than that it makes them both so happy.

We should all give that a try.
