Rufus Wainwright and Pink Martini with the Colorado Symphony at Red Rocks. AMAZING show. They are all so talented. I was in awe the entire time. If you haven’t heard the music of Pink Martini, I highly recommend them. They are so unique that I don’t even know how to describe them. And their music […]

Breakfast Machine
Introduced Bree (age 6) and Cate (age 3) to the awesomeness that is Breakfast Machine. They keep asking me to play it again and think PeeWee is pretty funny. Bree calls it the “phone song” because I had it as my ring tone for a long time.
Time After Time
That time you heard a song on a McDonald’s commercial (of all places) and madly asked Siri and Google where you could buy.it.right.now. Anyone else heard that “Time After Time” version? It sounds like Iron and Wine, but I can’t find it anywhere. Ack! I must have it!! Turns out it WAS Iron and Wine. […]
Flight of the Conchords
Date night to see Flight of the Conchords at Red Rocks. It’s Business Time! They were AMAZING, as always. This was our third time seeing them; the second time we’ve seen them at Red Rocks. We laughed so much! We enjoyed their new material and they played many of our favorites, too. (Business Time, Foux […]
Impromptu Music Lessons
After watching a parody of Bohemian Rhapsody with my girls tonight, I had to show them the original Bohemian Rhapsody video (one of my fave songs!) which led to us viewing several other great Queen songs, which led to Freddie Mercury and David Bowie’s “Under Pressure” which led to Vanilla Ice’s “Ice, Ice Baby” which […]
Mad Caddies
Mad Caddies. Still one of my favorite bands to see perform live. Amazing show tonight. At The Summit in Denver.
Learning About Orchestral Music
Each week, the girls and I read about a different composer and then listen to excerpts of their work or watch their pieces be played by an orchestra on Youtube. This week, it was Igor Stravinsky and his “Rite of Spring.” Adrianna liked the dissonance found in the piece and we were intrigued to learn […]
Christmas Music
I love Christmas music. Though I don’t listen to it year-round, I do find myself singing many of the songs year round. I think part of my love may be due to the great choral pieces we sang in choir and the fun a cappella arrangements we sang in Holiday Carolers when I was in […]
Harry Potter Drawing
I love this picture Adrianna drew of Harry Potter – she even worked hard on the title so that it looks like the font used on the books.We just finished Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince last night. Only one more book to go! BTW – I cannot recommend the audiobooks read by Jim […]
