Our family just got back from Disney World. My girls, ages 9 and 5, had a great time. Our youngest was quite the daredevil as she took on Test Track, Tower Of Terror, Space Mountain and Everest. The trust she must place in us, to believe that such intimidating rides are of no concern to her, is amazing. And the way her older sister encourages her and comforts her in the waiting lines is absolutely inspiring. I couldn't believe both girls walked the whole time without feigning any broken legs or crippling maladies.
The songs are shaping up nicely. I sent in two new songs to my producer and we are kicking the tires on them to see how they hold up. The songs came to me in different ways. One song was created lyrics first and the other came to me in a totally new way, chords first. I had never actually created a song based on a chord progression and it felt a little like brushing your teeth with the wrong hand. But amazingly the melody and lyrics hit at the same time and, with the exception of the middle verse, the song flowed quite easily.
I still have to get Stan a better picture of me for use on the webpage and other materials, but if you looked like my close ups, you might be delaying that as well. Actually, I'm waiting for a pretty day to try and get some shots outside, digital cameras sure make it easy.
Well, I've got to go because it's bathtime and bedtime at the Crawford house, but things don't sound Pachelbelish......yet.......

I'm so glad that I found your blog and thrilled to hear that you are working on a CD! I pull up your Pachelbel Bedtime youtube video periodically when I've had a rough bedtime with my two girls, ages 3 and "almost" 5. Fortunately, those occasions are now few and far between (although I am in their room as I type tonight!) and your song reminds me that I am not alone in this, as well as other, parenting struggles.
ReplyDeleteI want to wish you luck on your new venture. I look forward to hearing you CD some day.
ReplyDeleteWe are anticipating the release of your CD! We can't wait to hear more about it. My girls, ages 6 and 9, seem to be a lot like your girls at bedtime. The Pachelbel Bedtime song hits a note with our family. It makes us laugh because it hits so close to home.
ReplyDeleteGod Bless you and your family.
