But I, the baby of the family, only made music with a baseball bat in my hands. I played Read More

The Umbilical Cord Revisited
June 3rd, 2010 by Beneath the Wings
This is an added insight to my previous post HERE. This week, when Ricki and I were returning from her dance class, she walked ahead of me, always checking to be sure that I was following.

April 26th, 2010 by Orange
Ben’s Grampy and Cousin Megan recently made (yes, made) a beautiful ukelele for him. He needed one. Seriously — he was turning everything into a guitar — hair brushes, sticks, air. He had played with a ukelele at a friend’s house, and it was a perfect fit for him. Read More

I have to apologize for the lack of entries this week. I haven’t been feeling well since Monday – some kind of cold or other virus that has me feeling yucky and wanting to sleep or just curl up in bed all day. I have made a few interesting observations this week, though. For example, Read More

Music Appreciation
November 27th, 2009 by Herding Grasshoppers
I know there are Deaf/HoH folks out there who are very musically inclined. Tate, not so much. Oh, he enjoys hearing music, but making it? Well, to be fair, he will frequently sing songs of his own creation, but they definitely fall more into the category of “a joyful noise” than Read More
