Tracks

Got super_star_girl's vocals integrated into "Daddy's World" yesterday morning. Need to do the same for "Bugs" sometime over this weekend. I've found that with both kids, the right thing seems to be to combine their best two takes, and to carefully select the phrases where they're closest to being on-key.

The chaoswolf has expressed an interest in taking up guitar again; I'll try to set up a regular time for family or household music sessions -- possibly on Wednesdays. All they need is practice, I think.

The Heir to the Heatherlands

Took the household out to Alexander James's concert in Palo Alto last night. Wow!

He has a few of Heather's mannerisms, like the lopsided grin, and uses a couple of the same guitar and fiddle riffs, but he's definitely his own person. More mellow, quieter, and seemingly a lot more comfortable in his skin than Heather was in hers.

And his version of "Creature of the Wood" is just plain awesome.
