music.

when i was little, every night after bath and jammies we went to our parents room and danced. my dad had a big barrel drum and a huge stereo with speakers all over the room. I thought the 5 disk CD changer was the greatest thing, all those CD's spinning around. We'd laugh and dance and jump on the bed until we were too tired to move and daddy would take us to our bedroom. those are some of my happiest childhood memories. now when i hear the music that we danced to, it feels familiar and beautiful. it's inviting, kinda like an old friend.

Music my parents played when I was little:

Bruce Springsteen
James Taylor
James McMurtry
Toots and the Maytals
The Carpenters
Indigo Girls
Eddie From Ohio
Michael Jackson
John Denver
Elton John

and lots more.

on monday my mom and I went to Indigo Girls. ok. think of your favorite band, you know all of their songs and you listen to them all the time. now times that by a billion. that is how much i LOVE the Indigo Girls. i'm serious, my mom is obsessed and she naturally tried and succeeded in passing the obsession on. BUT just so we're clear here, they are on my Top Ten Favorite Artists which has no particular order. so i love them equally. with 9 other bands.

Look who i found! nails look good janey gurl. 

OFF TO SANDY EGO!

i'm not an idiot. 

Gabe calls it that.
