There are words to very niche folk songs that my sister and I both know by heart because my dad would played the same CD every Sunday morning as we got ready for church for a whole year. I LOVED lying on my bed reading liner notes! Some of this is probably an age thing - music means so much more when you're younger and have few other way…
There are words to very niche folk songs that my sister and I both know by heart because my dad would played the same CD every Sunday morning as we got ready for church for a whole year. I LOVED lying on my bed reading liner notes! Some of this is probably an age thing - music means so much more when you're younger and have few other ways to define yourself. But thinking about what a big part it played in my childhoods (Little Richard versions of children's songs!) is making me think about how I want to recreate it for my future children. Maybe a record player in the nursery is the answer? Spotify is just not the same.
There are tonies and yoto that have music components and are intentional in their physicality. It took a while to get to this point because they are exposed to so much through Kidz bop and TV and such, but I got tired of Kidz bop and made conscious choices to push her toward adult music. Records are interesting because there are so many novelty records that are goofy and fairly cheap to acquire, but to be honest it took her getting older to even care about having music on in the background.
Yeah, my sister just went to see The Fantasticks at her community theatre, and I told her I still know all the words from the record I had. And she said SHE still knows all the words from me playing the record so often!
