Silly Songs with Squad

My friends Lauren and Maddie joined in to help keep the beat by playing the tops of a couple of pots with some spoons at YL club this week. IT WAS DELIGHTFUL.

It seems like even though I always practice for the entire week beforehand, there's always something that distracts me when I'm playing in front of kids and causes me to miss a chord, or more. It could be the unnecessary sunglasses, the hilariously mistimed clanging pans, the small print, or really anything else I suppose.

I guess I really don't care, unless the kids don't like it. My philosophy remains:

Look like a fool in front of the kids, if it will contribute to their self-confidence or help them feel like they fit in and belong.

Anyway, it was fun and I found this song in the bumper music on the "Free Beer and Hot Wings Show." It's a really good song. Pretty old. From a British band.

"Airplane Song" by 'the Royal Guardsmen':


Unrelated, but this was the first time I ever just sat down and recorded something that I was ~happy with in the first take.
