In an effort to teach my children to appreciate music - I keep this little notepad in the front seat of the car, and write down the names of songs they like... yeah, it's silly. Jim has taught them James Taylor and Dave Matthews (God bless them) and I am trying for my little part in all the action.
So, about every two weeks we have a new list. I download it from iTunes, and make them a CD for the car... hey, it beats the same Kidzbop CD repeatedly, you know?

This week, Jordin had a classical, NPR style bent. We listened to the classic, "The Fairytale Suite," by composer David Lyon. Jordin calls classical music, "the kind without words." She tolerates it until she catches herself falling asleep... I also have her doing a little Broadway... like stuff from Hairspray, and Suessical.... of course, then we go back to things like I just found myself downloading from the list :

• Switch, Will Smith
• This One's for the Girls, Martina McBride
• She's not just a pretty face, Shania Twain
• Since U Been Gone, Kelly Clarkson
• Get Right, JLo

I guess everyone needs a little shallow in their life, right? RIGHT?
