Gigging

So everybody knows that I'm a park commissioner for my township, and I've taken responsibility for booking, publicizing and running our concert series. It's great fun, since I love music and bands and I love to pick stuff that's different and interesting that I think our neighbors will like. Boo has been my co-pilot ever since I started doing it-- her first public outing was a park concert when she was two weeks old. She's met lots of local artists who have been very sweet to her, even if half of the time she burst into tears when she met them.

Last night we had a favorite kids' singer, Dave Fry. I am in awe of this guy's way with kids. He had them eating out of the palm of his hand for 90 minutes straight. That's a feat.

Boo was a bit reluctant to get involved:

...but then she got braver (that's her in the background going to get a rhythm instrument):

(Note that we're inside-- we had a huge rainstorm that forced the show indoors. We still had a great turnout.)

That thing in her hand is a rhythm stick.
