Country Music and Gregorian Chant

Mornin'

So I'm trying to learn guitar, again, (borrowed Rachel's).

First song I came upon was The Gambler;

interesting that I found this song first.  

Alec is having heart failure, worried that I'm into

country  While listening to this song he jumped up,

saying "that is absolutely horrible mom" and left the room.

I'm trying to expand our son's repertoire.

 "Listen to the lyrics Alec, they are all about life!" 

You've got to know when to hold 'em

Know when to fold 'em

Know when to walk away

know when to run

You never count your money

When you're sittin' at the table

There'll be time enough for countin'

When the dealin's done.  (Don Schiltz)

Perhaps I am responsible for Alec's aversion

to country music. When he was a baby 

howling in his car seat in "the valdez," 

our green Dodge caravan,

I would play Andrea Bocelli's version of Con te partirò.

Bocelli's tenor voice would usually lull Alec back

into baby gurgles.  On the rare occasion when Bocelli

didn't do the trick, I would play Gregorian Chant.

No wonder Alec wants to learn latin!

It is a good thing we have two separate rooms

in our apartment.

One thing we do share is a passion for archaeology.

Today is free entrance into the museums in Metz so

we are heading into town to visit La Cour d'or, 

our favourite museum.

Regarding music, I won't be playing either 

country or Bocelli on the radio;  French stations

seem to play American songs from the 70's 

and 80's.
