It’s officially music season at my house. I’ve raised a houseful of music lovers and Number 4 has just started her turn at high school band. I was reflecting with my husband today and we calculated that, by the time this one finishes high school, we will have been band parents for nearly 20 years.… Continue Reading

Are you “Born Brave”? CD Review and Give Away
Born Brave is the title and the title track of artist Katherine Nelson’s third CD. Born Brave is one of those songs that just makes you not only want to sing along–all bold and loud even when you’re like me and can’t carry a tune in a bucket–but to get up and dance as well.… Continue Reading

In Tune
I got my piano tuned last week. I know; you’re thinking big deal. Pianos everywhere get tuned. Well, it was a big deal. My piano was last tuned about 1998. No, that’s not a typo. Not only has my piano gone un-tuned since the last millennium, it was moved from California to new Mexico in… Continue Reading

I was listening to my Mormon Pandora station last night when a song caught me completely off guard. Songs about the life of Joseph Smith always get my house full of tears. This one especially, is very beautiful and sung by one of my favourite LDS musicians. After listening to it though, I was taken… Continue Reading
