Kids at Heart

When playing solo background music gigs, it's fun to go through a variety of mental games to expand your musical knowledge under pressure and test your people-reading skills:

• ”How many songs I can play from memory today?”
• ”What song might make that lady smile?”
• ”What if I add mouth-trumpet to this?”

​
But my favorite farmer’s market game is always:
​
”How long can I hold this baby’s attention?”

(It’s so cute to see them crane their tiny neck around the side of the stroller to stay focused on the music as long as possible while their parents try to push them on to the next vendor.)
​
Also, my very official, real-time-audience-reaction research confirms that “Part of Your World” has no age limit :)

We’re all still kids at heart!

With gratitude,
