GUITAR DAD

 
Kiddie Concert 10/22/2008
 

Over the years I've performed as a rock guitarist and singer at frat houses, bars, nightclubs, outdoor festivals, corporate parties – you name it. But I think today's gig was my most important one. My wife and I played a handful of fun tunes for my son's kindergarten class, me strumming the acoustic guitar and the two of us sharing vocal duties.
 
From upbeat renditions of "Old McDonald" and "Itsy Bitsy Spider" to a couple of gentle Beatles and Simon & Garfunkel numbers, we delivered an inspiring little show to a super-cute and appreciative audience. The kids even sang along here and there and joined us in some amusing between-song banter. Music truly touches the hearts and souls of everyone, especially children.
 
What a pleasant surprise it was to receive 18 personalized thank you notes later in the day from our newest fans! Move over, Wiggles!

Love this story. Children are the best fans because they are the most genuine. Plus, you know if you can keep them entertained you've really done your job :-)

Thanks for dropping by, Doreen. Kids are indeed a tough crowd to please, but when you strike a chord with them (literally in this case), it's quite a sensation.
