My friends laugh at me because this is my response to my kids every time they ask me if they can be in band or learn an instrument or be in chorus.
It's wrong... I know.
I've heard all the arguments-- What if Mozart's mom would have said the same thing?
What if they are the next Kenny G? (Well then that's reason enough to stop them, right?)
"Kids who play a musical instrument do better in school." (Okay, so I have no smart ass argument for that one--- Patrick should have learned 30 instruments)
Regardless... WE ARE NOT MUSICAL PEOPLE.
There is no musical blood in either family. We are just as much circus folk as we are musicians.
Okay, so cut to last Tuesday night...
Apparently Scarlet's constant badgering trumps my innate instinct that we are not musical people...
Did I ever tell you about the time that Jeremy talked to Kenny G at Blockbuster? It's pretty funny. Scarlett looks so proud -I bet she was awesome!
