We watched "West Side Story" and couple of weeks ago, and I commented that both my children enjoyed it. What surprised myself, that some two weeks on, my lads have been singing songs from "West Side Story" around the house, we have had the finger clicking to the "When Your A Jet..."
Last week we showed them "Hairspray", my word...they loved it!, my youngest son has played it over and over....."Good Morning Baltimore!"
This leads me to last Sunday, we watched a normal kids based filmed, Walt Disneys "John Carter", fifthteen minutes in, my youngest says "When are they going to Sing!! lol.
It's really made me realise that, kids minds are like sponges, and it's easy to take these small things for granted. The good news, I have plenty of musicals up my sleeve for them, up next is another monster hit "Grease".
I recently had a weeks break from MW TA listening, for my own sanity really, but you will be pleased to know, I am back on the horse now. Like all hobbies, I find you need to step back from time to time.
I also found this out when I used to play the drums, something I haven't mentioned before in my blog. I used to play the drums for 20 years, based around Newport.
It's something I do miss, however I reached a point in my life when my family were more important to me, and sadly moving to a different part of Wales, travelling up and down the M4 corridor just to practice and not giging enough, resulted in me leaving my long time band "The Rob Flectcher Band"
I did try to few adverts for bands, but nothing ever came about, so in the end the drums and cymbals were sold off to pay some outstanding bills. At the time, I know some of my mates couldn't quite believe it, but life moves on, and I have had some fantastic memories of great gigs, and helping with song writing and producing the band demo's (Thats for another day)
Well, I hope it wasn't to painful if you decided to take a listen!
Before I sign off here is this months MW TA logs for March 2012
