Mike, Jill, Lucy, & Wubie!

This post has to be a quick one because the kid just dropped by and said “It’s time for block time.” So, since I have a playdate that’s awaiting, here are a few words and pics having to do with music.

Jill and Lucy came back from a visit with Auntie Laura the other day raving about a radio show Auntie had playing, Little Steven’s Underground Garage. The music is really cool, much of it neat pop/rock stuff from the 60s. (I didn’t even know Soupy Sales had a catchy tune called Your Brains Will Fall Out.) Note: though the music is great, the web site is pretty terrible.

We usually listen to music while we play, so the kid is already developing her own taste about what she likes. (note: the kid just dropped by again. I’m running late!) She’s even got to the point where she’s curious about making music. Jill and I will do our best to encourage this curiosity. Who knows, maybe she’ll turn out to be another Soupy Sales! Probably not.

Other examples of Lucy and music:

• Dancing (and Falling Down) to Green Day
• Just Making Noise

Oh well, I’m off to play blocks. Bye.

The kid can get pretty feisty at times. This video shows how possessive she can get when it comes to our old Apple G4 Powerbook.Yep, just like her mom, this kid will fight for her right to play Snood!

BTW, I know the scrolling text at the beginning may be a little hard to read. I’d fix it, but I’m too lazy to do a re-render. Anyway, here’s what it says:

Baby Wars

A few minutes ago, in a messy bedroom across the hall, young Lucy SemiWalker battled her sometimes nemesis, Darth Daddy for control of the old Powerbook. Wubert Fett was there as a witness.
