Re: The Well XLV: Live At Budokan
My wife is from Arlington and her family is in this area. I like it here better than Austin too. It's WAY too congested in Austin for me. Feels more like L.A. down there at times. The music scene is great, it's a cool town, but I wouldn't want to live there.....unless I was single and about 10 years younger (UT chicks ).
My mother sings and used to sing in the Church choir. Her and my aunt (her twin sister) sing beautifully together. Just great harmonies. My grandmother on her side played piano. My grandfather on my father's side played harmonica. Everybody else couldn't carry a tune if it had handles. I got the musical genes...at least in my immediate family. Some of my cousins on my mother's side play guitar and sing, more folksy type stuff though.
Already am and have been since she was in the womb. I would play with my wife in the room and sometimes it would settle her down and sometimes she'd kick like crazy. It would just depend on what I was playing. She's getting in to singing, likes the piano a bit (there's a little toy baby grand behind me that she plays with) and loves the drums (my brother-in-law is a drummer). The kid has some natural talent and I encourage her a lot with it. Her favorite singer is Carrie Underwood with Hannah Montana / Miley Cyrus running a very close second.
Edit: I'd like to also point out that my daughter is also a KISS fan like me. Her first exposure to them was on a calendar. I then got the first Kissology DVD and she saw me watching it, instantly recognized the faces and asked if she could watch it with me. Of course I said yes. Her favorites parts? Watching Gene spit the fake blood and spit the fire. *sniff* I'm so proud. *sniff*

Will you encourage music to your 5-year-old?
