We just got back from a little show at the Iron Post in Urbana, where we listened to the music of Lynn O’Brien – a semi-local artist that we really enjoy. The Bubblegum song made Sky teary-eyed. Averhy went up to Lynn after the show (with me) and after a bit of prompting… A: “I like your music.” L: “Well, thank you!” (me: “Tell her your favorite song, Averhy…”) A: “I like the Italy song.” L: “Thank you! Do you play music?” A: “Yes, I do.” L: “Do you like to play piano?” A: “No, I like to play some different kind of music.” L: “Well, I’m glad you came!” (me: “Say thank you, Averhy…”) A: “Thank you.” L: “Thanks. That just made my night!”
I’m glad that we take the girls to things like this, and I hope we always do. I love exposing them to things that are interesting and different from what I experienced growing up… like intimate piano concerts in a little bar… or Thai food!
