With last week being PJ's VIP week, Laura and I totally rocked a 3-song set for the kids. This time we had a song ready for an encore (B-I-N-G-O) however no request for was made by the audience (drat!). The 3-song set consisted of an original Maraca! (words by Loren Barroca-Haar),Old MacDonald and the ABC song.
Although it wasn't caught on tape, when we sang "and on this farm he had a..." and paused, one of the kids Laura pointed to said "igloo". Hmmmmm....after Laura and I looked at each for a brief second we moved on to the next audience member and continued with the song.
Note that we were merely the opening act. The headliner was a well-told story by Daphne Dahl titled "Parker and the Three Bears". She is marvelous at story-telling as well as changing the story on the fly...one this one she replaced Goldilock's porridge with Parker's blanket.
We may need to take this show on the road. Hopefully by then I can learn how to correctly play the chords to the ABC song.

So, there was Laura's bday, Parker's class, AND a county retirement appearance?! When is the next gig?
Probably Neil Diamond karaoke night at the Golden China. I'll be singing "Cracklin' Rose" in my silver sequined jacket...after several drinks of course.
At our weekly basketball game Song agreed to sing "Song Sung Blue" in a sad, melancholy falsetto style...maybe even in blue face.
Now that would be interesting.
