Fathers and Music

Many years ago when my son was born my then husband walked into the waiting room to see Silent Lucidy playing on the tv. I had long said that I lived that song and for it to be playing then ment that much more. Silent Lucidy became my oldest boys song later as he grew a little unwell was add to his list. When it comes on we both laugh because of how it became his.

My second son was harder there was distance between us due to the navy and then as he grew our relasionaip was not the best but one day I heard Natlie Cole do the duet with her father Unforgetabe and that became his song. My daughter's is Hope You Dance and my twins well it's Upside Down from Curious George theovie,that was there favorite show and how they dance and bounce when it comes on.

i never really though about the music my father listen to till I was in my car listening to jazz one day. I laughed at the memories of him trying to instill in me the importance of the music and the beauty. I would tell him that " I'm not listen to that". now of course I enjoy listening to it. What triggered this post was a steve wonder song " Isn't she lovely" my dad would say that was my song and sometimes sing it to me. which of course is why my children now have songs and this dawned on me after I heard Stevie on the radio .

Thanks Dad
