I have been listening to the Christian station while tooling around in the van quite a bit lately and I started to wonder why I was suddenly drawn to this music… Well, the battery went out in my van a few weeks ago and Tim quickly installed a new one while at a gas station…
Mat Kearney and Young Love
“You Can Count on Me” are some pretty powerful words when you think about it. And I like to say them and hear them. And I also hear the kids say “Hey Mama” A. LOT. Perhaps that’s why these are two of my favorite songs on Mat Kearney’s new album, Young Love. When I popped…

Tickling the Ivories
My mother bought a beatifully constructed piano, circa 1890, while they lived in California (where I was born) so that she could learn how to play. She took lessons while I grew inside her belly. Perhaps that is why I love music so much? Maybe, maybe not. Either way it’s a nice thought. I also…
What Happens when Mommy goes to choir
I’m briefly hijacking E’s blog and I hope she’ll forgive me, but I just had to pose and answer this question: What happens when Elaine goes to choir and leaves us boys home all alone? ROCK N’ ROLL, baby!!! Elaine mentioned Little G loves music but I’d like to show you another example. He’s off…
