I took two of my kids for ice cream yesterday and on the way home John Coltrane's My Favorite Things came on Sirius Radio. I said something akin to, "It really gets going on his second solo."
My eldest, who plays piano and viola game me an inquisitive look.
So I decided to drive around so we could hear it - the song is around 13 minutes.
My son got into listening, even to the point of humming parts of the solo after hearing a passage.
AWESOME.
It gets better.
During COVID, I would often take the kids to nearby Goddard park just to get out of the house...but we did it so often it got to be a "Not Goddard again!" kinda thing.
I could think of nowhere else to drive so we could hear the tune so I drove to Goddard. The song was ending just as I pulled up so I was just going to turn around and head home but get this: they wanted to go to Goddard and just pick up shells and skip rocks.
AWESOME.
I don't have to many parenting wins but this was one. I'll take it.
