Lately, Nicole and I have been trying to challenge ourselves to write more music, not just songs with lyrics....sometimes there is a marked difference in our lives between the two.
In this song (some things happening in the backdrop):
* Nicole and I are teaching our kids to tune the ukelele by singing "my dog has fleas"....just strumming the uke open like that makes a beautiful sound.
* We also have had many discussions about musical theory--especially in the context of classical music. The latest hot topic in our conversations is how classical composers will find a melody and repeat it/explore it consistently throughout the symphony.
* My kids are teasing my Mother's bijon frise during the recording (which often reminds of a circus act, with both of them circling and taunting the dog, jetting their hands in quickly for a pet or poke and out again before she can growl or bite their tiny little fingers....needless to say, my mothers bijon frise is not good with children.)
Enjoy!

PS. I think I have come up with a title for this song: "the amazing, flying trapeze act of Baby Coda (the name of my mothers' dog)"
