Lots of music for Sam lately
Posted By markmyers on August 15, 2009
The last couple of weekends we have been playing a lot of music for little Sam. Last week we played a lot of jazz including Lee Morgan “Leeway”, Curtis Fuller “Imagination” (my favorite trombone player), and Helen Merill “Helen Merill with Clifford Brown”. We also got some classic rock albums in including Pink Floyd “Wish You Were Here” and Bad Company “Bad Company”.
Tonight Pam wanted to cuddle up and relax on the couch with Muffin so we have been spinning Julie London all night. She is our favorite torch singer. We listened to “Julie is Her Name” and “Sophisticated Lady”. I wanted to play more but Pam kept falling asleep so I sent her off to bed!
We also recently put a nice little CD player in Sam’s room so we can play music for her. We were testing it out with some Anonymous 4 who is a choral group that we have liked for a long time. They are a quartet who reconstruct and sing medieval music in various languages like Old English, Latin, Gaelic, and so on. They sing beautiful music and Pam and I both agreed that it would be perfect to soothe little Sam. They tour reguarly and every Christmas they come to St. Mark’s Church in Philadelphia. Pam and I always go; we hope they keep touring so we can bring Sam there one day to hear them!
